I have just got a new digital hearing aid. I am as deaf as a post without it. It has different controls from the last one but i shall get used to it.
I have warned my family to be careful now of what they say in my hearing or I will cut them out of my will!
When I confronted my new washing machine 4 years ago with its dials, numbers and flashing lights it seemed like learning to pilot Concorde. I soon put it in its place and showed who was master by using just two of its many programmes (as I think many housewives do).
The word "housewife" intrigues me. I don't remember marrying a house. For once an Americanism might be more accurate. They say "homemaker".

Ramblings of a nonagenerian (vintage 1923). Grew up in Lambeth in the 20s and 30s. Lived and worked in London during World War II. I have been attempting to do the Telegraph Cryptic Crossword since 1939! (My daughter says I *have* to write this, but I am troubled as it sounds so conceited.) I bought my first computer aged 85 and am continually frustrated by the vagaries of the technological age.
