This is a modern world

I have realised that I spend my life doing the same few things over and over again and that it has been this way for at least a decade. I am mostly: reading, writing, arranging, re-arranging, cleaning, gardening, buying stuff, selling stuff and making lists about the above list and other things. I'm still an old fashioned girl doing old fashioned things just as I ever was. 

I sometimes wish I was more technically literate as I'm sure it would make things easier, faster or neater. For example, I have just discovered that there is a way of planning and sharing articles in the virtual world and my editor is talking to me about attaching a 'hashtag' to my new column! I have absolutely no idea what she is talking about!! When I say 'talking' I do, of course, mean emailing. I have never uttered a word to her and will probably never see her face in real life. 

I email and I facebook and ocassionally I blog (as you know) and I thought this meant I was quite up-to-date but apparently I'm being left behind. Fast. My computer is old and sits permanently on a desk, my notebook is spiral bound and I use a pen to write in it, my friends can get a better picture and better reception on their phones than I can on my TV and what on earth is analogue and do I need it?
