Dear Readers,<br />
Changing times<br />
I had a lovely message from Jonathan last month, I am glad you enjoyed reading my<br />
article <strong>and</strong> here is the answer to your question. You can read my pages from previous<br />
years by typing the following address into your browser http://tiny.cc/0xci5y I hope<br />
you find this helpful.<br />
This month I had to take a step back in time. I am writing this article today on a laptop<br />
which is older than my 9 year old dog as regrettably on a recent trip away, my normal<br />
laptop broke <strong>and</strong> I am waiting for Lenovo to come <strong>and</strong> repair it. I was dreading making<br />
the service call as my Spanish isn’t great but it was actually very simple <strong>and</strong> could be<br />
done online. However, the machine I am presently using is about 10 years old <strong>and</strong><br />
running Windows 7 which I love. I had forgotten some of the nice things about this<br />
programme having moved to Windows 10 some time ago.<br />
Anyway, yesterday was my twin girls’ fourth birthdays. I have been thinking about how<br />
their lives have changed in the last four years, <strong>and</strong> equally how things have changed<br />
in the PC world. In 2015 Apple Pay became commonplace on new iPhones <strong>and</strong> I don’t<br />
know where I would be without it now. I often leave my “man bag” at home when<br />
shopping or eating out <strong>and</strong> just take my phone as it’s so easy to make secure<br />
payments. Smart devices started to take off <strong>and</strong> the introduction of “Smart Home”<br />
devices became available to the common man. Alexa <strong>and</strong> Google Home came out the<br />
year before, <strong>and</strong> the technology in the area of VA (virtual assistants) exploded<br />
overnight. Only this year Amazon announced they have sold over 100 million devices.<br />
We have an abundance of smart devices now. We were away last week, <strong>and</strong> I logged<br />
in to the CCTV system to make sure everything was OK, turned on different lights<br />
around the house, remotely turned on Alexa to play music reasonably loudly <strong>and</strong> we<br />
even spoke to the bird, much to his surprise!<br />
I wonder where we will be in four years’ time? Things are progressing so fast <strong>and</strong><br />
there are a number of predictions. Solar technology will increase massively, electric<br />
cars will be everywhere (not hybrids), high speed space travel <strong>and</strong> even AI (artificial<br />
intelligence) could be in every shopping center. Will we have any privacy? What do you<br />
think?<br />
As always, questions <strong>and</strong> comments are welcome. Please do contact me, Andy, at<br />

The Vintage Mobile Cinema: Audrey – August Availability<br />
Over the last few years the Edinburgh Festival has<br />
been a key part of Audrey's schedule.<br />
It's been a massive endeavour <strong>and</strong> the financial<br />
benefits have been essential in helping raise the<br />
funds to cover her overall running costs.<br />
Very late in the day Edinburgh Council sadly decided to increase the rates for the<br />
George Street closure to such degree that Audrey cannot attend the Fringe this year.<br />
And things don't bode well for her returning in future years.<br />
This is very bad news <strong>and</strong> to happen at such late notice is unacceptable.<br />
To mitigate the situation a little we need to find as many events as we can to fill the<br />
August schedule. We've had a number of August enquiries in the past but been unable<br />
to accept these due to Edinburgh Festival.<br />
Please do get back in touch if you have space/budget for Audrey at your event.<br />
For more information about Audrey, the last remaining Vintage Mobile Cinema <strong>and</strong> how<br />
you can book her for your event visit http://www.vintagemobilecinema.co.uk/<br />

hosting their 9th annual Coast to Coast<br />
Cycle Challenge on 12 <strong>May</strong> <strong>2019</strong> starting at<br />
11am in <strong>Watchet</strong> <strong>and</strong> ending in West Bay.<br />
In 2018 524 supporters took part in the<br />
event to help raise funds to keep Dorset &<br />
Somerset Air Ambulance flying, <strong>and</strong> in doing<br />
so collaboratively rode over 28,296 miles<br />

fund approximately 17 missions by the air<br />
ambulance.<br />
Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance are<br />
aware that this event can cause some slight<br />
disruption to the town <strong>and</strong> would like to<br />
apologise in advance for any inconvenience<br />
