AWWWW MONDAY - WEEKEND 25






 

Linking to AWWW MONDAYS

It was windy and cold outside so we were happy to play a very interesting game in the afternoon ! Elinor showed us pictures of old devices and asked us if we had known these things in our youth. That was really funny. 


I had seen such an iron in a museum, but some others had seen it when their grandmas ironed. The telephone everybody knew and the typewriter too, of course only the women. I was the only one who recognized the "forefather" of a computer, because of Rick who had showed me one as his first computer took a whole room. He was Analyst Programmer when it started in the 70th. And with these different things came back memories and funny stories and we had a real nice time very amusing. 

Sunday was a day "off" and just when I wanted to have a cup of coffee with the others in the restaurant which also is our "playground" the telephone rang and I spent two others talking to my son, a friend who was in London and had a lot to tell !
