My dad is a complete technophobe When we lost my mum, my brother did the eulogy and one of the things he said was "don't text my dad, don't email him, he can just about answer the phone" He does have a garden and will be spending time out there - we will get to spend some time visiting when it warms up hopefully. I dropped some food off yesterday and waved through the conservatory window - he just looked little (he would hate me saying anything like this BTW - He.Is.Fine)
