Love the bird flock comparison, that’s such a great way to put it into perspective! Driving to the shops is definitely a daily risk we take without overthinking it. Basic awareness usually does the trick.
You make a really valid point about the car integration! It feels like every new feature wants access to our location and audio these days. I’ve turned off Siri and location services on mine for that exact reason—sometimes simple is just better.

Spot on! There’s definitely a special kind of peace in sticking to traditional ways and keeping things low-tech.
And yet here we are, chatting away on high tech equipment which connects via satellites …. ![]()

Haha, touché! It really is a funny irony. I guess as long as we use tech on our own terms to connect with good people, it’s not all bad!
Did anyone tell you Chilli, that you have a look of Jason Statham…

I hate having a computer and screen controlling my car. If I ever have to change my car it’ll be one of these…

Or one similar.
My phone is a smarphone. Or rather was smart several years ago. It does most of the basic stuff and I have train and plane tickets on it. WhatsApp is particularly useful as is the GPS function and music online. Store some pictures on it and take a lot. Camera is very clear. Some useful health apps. Great tool.
That’s the spirit. ![]()
Well that’s a new one Foxy! ![]()
But no, up until now they haven’t. I used to do what he’s doing on the foreshore when I had a permit. I didn’t get as mucky as him, obviously not very gung ho! ![]()
More Gunga Din?
That was his plan
Ignore the marzipan!
Is that a genuine Battenberg?
I had one of those in Heidelberg
It really doesn’t matter, if you just want your cake and eat it!!

That is a scandalous state of mind
Good luck with yours Spitty. ![]()
Lets hope you make your own luck ![]()
