Easy Labour

It looks as if Mum is on the verge of attaining some kind of mastery over the digital recorder. Having watched a programme she recorded herself she has come close to learning how to delete it. I've just been relaying the final step which is to press OK when a submenu pops up asking if you really want to delete the selected programme YES or NO, pressing OK for YES, that is. What seems perfectly obvious to those brought up in a world dominated by clever machines that get to ask you questions can be utterly baffling to someone who was working in a cotton mill before her mid-teens, scrambling in and out of spinning machines that asked for nothing more than hard labour.
