A Different Kettle of Fish

its a whole new ball game out there isn't it for this brave new and frightened, often foolish world of ours ..

What an entirely
different
kettle of fish
it is today,
don’t you think ..
A whole new
ball game, for this
our brave
new world ..
Quite different
to the one
we all grew up in,
isn’t it ..
Now we have
Covid 19
to contend with,
not to
mention iPhones,
or that AI ..
Is it really any
wonder
so very many of us
look back
fondly to when
steam was
king and when
honour
meant everything
long
before textspeak
and all
acronyms
were frowned on DYK ..

Being Me

It's a very different world! And it gets more different with each year that passes! When I was a teen we had a new fangled thing called aĀ  v i d e oĀ  r e c o r d e r. I remember my nan not understanding how to work it. My sister and I were saying, "Just press play!."
"That Button there."
"No, not that one, THAT one."

she got really stressed over it, bless her. I remember thinking ...thank God I've grown up in a modern world! I won't be that granny who doesn't understand how to work a video machine.

and now ... we don't need those video recorders. We have downloads and streaming. We don't have to be in the same country as the rest of the family and yet we can still be in the group photo.Ā 

I think I will become , That Granny! Eventually xx
