MY NEW TABLET

It’s Saturday, 28th September in a misty, Erith. No, I have not just been given yet another tablet to take, as could have been, as I am a fairly new pensioner. It is the kind I am sending this blog from. My last blog was from my slow but faithful PC.  I thought, it was now  time to move into the 21st century, so it is a tiny miracle if you are receiving this blog. It is a touch screen to start with, which Is all very strange and tap screen to enter. This is all too alien to me, so I have attached a keyboard. It should have been with a picture, but that will have to be for next time.

My first experience of voxblogging.

In 2008 Erith Riverside Shopping Centre opened. It was slow to attract people as many shoppers had gone to Bexleyheath. Many of the shops changed hands at the start. Now, it has a good mix of shops & people have come back. One I often visit, in between shopping is Mambocinos, a café. You get quick, friendly service & good food.
I arrived with Tracy and our recording equipment, but alas we made the cardinal mistake and asked a question with yes and no answers. We asked people, did they know the name of the new Larner Road Estate. As much as we tried, no one knew. Even a resident who had moved out a while ago did not know. So ended our first attempt at voxblogging.
