I dedicate this blog to my mates, LWL (ladies who lunch) who started at the same school as FIRST-TIME teachers. Lovely catch up - great communication. And the reason I purchased my TOMTOM. All will be revealed..............
Hi Babyboomers
I haven't made any decisions yet re an I Pad or Android, despite a reply to my technical question, from a friend who has one, "I can't really tell you what's so good about it. I'm in love with my ipad. It makes me happy just to think about it."
But I did make another important purchase. And here it is....... A TOMTOM! Love the name - makes me feel as though it's going to communicate to me how to get where I want to go.
So where do you want to go, Clara?
The answer is. "To where I decide to go." Therein lie choices, not only re destination, but how I want to get there.
OK, so here's the history - Ladies who Lunch - LWL - destination was via a route I chose not to take. I don't do expressways anymore ever since the unfortunate journey via the airport from Artarmon to an address in Artarmon. Well - I got into the wrong lane - then was afraid to go sideways fearing that I would be lost forever.
So, everyone else was still driving out of their comfort zone, except me - which was confronting and cost a lot.
After councelling from the group, when I saw a special deal on the net re TOMTOM, I decided to go for it.
When I told G about it, he said I really didn't need it, because I didn't drive anywhere out of the area. So I said, "The less I drive, the more fearful I become." He understood and is supportive - we had a lesson even, where I drove to IKEA land via GPS and felt good about it. He agreed to shut up re my other driving habits - Yeaaah!
So - TOMTOM has arrived and I need to read the manual. Hmmmmmm

Well done Claire! You'll be well equipped to find your way to Newport next February! I like your courage and determination.
ReplyDeleteWas great to see you and the others at lunch.There's nothing like long standing and girls' friendships are there.....I really treasure them.
Thanks for the photo. I think Geraldine is right - If we asked a stranger to guess the ages of these glamour girls, he/she would definitely say we're in our 40's,(as long as the guesser was in his/her 70's or +). Ask someone younger than 40...... we wouldn't do so well! I rather let us down by my hair......SORRY. XXX Jill.
