Direction from a talking head off a phone I normally go astray, alas I rely on my map books which I still have close to hand.
Reality today is numeracy and literacy being lost quicker than one realizes, people rely heavily of tool (normally phone) at hand, not having the basics will be a great loss if not taught in the home.
Call us old-fashioned; cooking, repairs, darning or sewing saves money, each should obtain some knowledge, not only rewards it brings satisfaction in new life to an object.
I absolutely agree Joan, it's a very sad state of affairs!
And so true, it is a great feeling when one has given new life to something that could have ended up on the scrapyard!
I'm glad I grew up in the time before technology took over.
Grateful we were offered subjects during schooling, sometimes you battle somehow overcome many obstacles finding a way to resolve issues for yourself. Not being reliant on technology all the time is healthy.
