The thing is that nowadays old people get shoved aside and all of that experience is wasted.
One can learn so much from them about life and it's tricks, but everyone rather runs to ask Google.
Cheers and thanks!

So, now I say good morning Zac 😊
that's true, and I do also often belong to these People - Google is just faster 😉
But there's not much in my life which would need such advices.

A great and sunny good morning from here to you Hannes!
No rain here during the day, so I think we will pop down to the ocean at some time today.
Google is indeed faster, but it misses that personal touch that the old people have lol.
It all depends on which advices you are talking about, as Google is pretty general.
For instance, we always go to our bird books to identify a new bird, but they are limited, as often new arrivals here are not in the books, but we can find them on Google.
Now the old people don't know this, as they are life experts and most of the ones that we know do not use internet at all. Just walking libraries of life knowledge they are lol.
Cheers and thanks!
Hi Zac,
I have just come home from a ride. It's a bit cloudy and not very warm, but okay.
There's a thick encyclopedia in my parents house which consists of many books and which I loved when I was young. They have often been used. I have also a few books of an encyclopedia from the 1930s at home. This old one makes sometimes fun, because there are many things in it which I know are not true anymore 😉
I don't need advice in regards to landscaping or farming, and what I need to know about living in town I find in the internet, but as said before, I enjoy listening to the stories of these "walking libraries" as you say 😊
Animals, birds and Insects are all easier to identify by using Google or Wikipedia or other websites. In a book there are only a few photos of an animal, in the internet there are many. So I don't even try to use the "Austrian Birds" book we have 😉
Hope you get some nice photos at the ocean 😊
Cheers and !BEER

Yes indeed Hannes, things are changing so rapidly that a book gets old the moment that it's published. We also have racks full of books including a range of old classics and many others, but they are for a read in the late afternoon dun in the big and soft leather chair that my one daughter gave me.
Fortunately two of our SA Bird books are recent and while I type, Marian looks in the books and gives me the Latin names. So we are a double human google team lol.
Cheers and thanks!
I don't read books anymore, because they are better than any sleeping pill for me 😁
I have tried to read eBooks and slept, I have tried audio books and slept, I have tried videos and slept. Only sometimes a video is interesting enough to keep me awake ☺️
It's good that you have someone to help you.
Cheers and !BEER

I don't know where my reply to this went, but let's try another one.
When Marian takes a book it's goodbye on the first page Hannes.
So, you guys have a trigger in your minds the deciphers the code word "read" erroneously into "sleep" lol.
We do almost everything together my friend.
Cheers and thanks!
That's it. Somebody must have hypnotized us, so we fall asleep when we read 😂
That's a good partnership in my eyes 😊
Cheers and !BEER
