Modern technology

So we went up to Manchester on Tuesday for the MRI. I drove up. It took 5 hours, due to rubbish weather and traffic, giving Quentin the opportunity to study the instruction manual for the sat nav in detail. And then to read aloud to me from the Frequently Asked Questions page. ("Love is..."). I listened intently, waiting for THE most frequently asked question: "How do I get my husband to follow my instructions as religiously as the sat nav?". But it never came - which just goes to show that whoever wrote that booklet was a man.

We arrived late (we obviously hadn't allowed enough time for the football traffic), but the Christie staff were as lovely as ever. Within half an hour we were back on the road (aren't these machines clever?) and the next day we saw Oakley, who had made this lovely card for Quent. It shows Quent going through the donut (scanner) - complete with sprinkles!




Prof is on holiday this week, so we'll probably get the scan results sometime next week.

Meanwhile if anyone wants to know how to do a split screen, vari-scale view of the sat nav, with warnings of forthcoming speed cameras, just ask.

Ah yes I can relate to that instruction manual scenario. Fingers crossed etc for Quents results. If Oakleys card is anything to go by, your Mothers Day card is going to be a cracker! Love the Turners x

What a card! We are compiling a list of sat nav questions and will send them on. For us, the first one will be why does our sat nav always want to go via Kingsbridge. Is it twinned perhaps with Golders Green???
In total agreement with the sentiments of Oakley's card. Positive thinking continues. Jen and Tim xx
PS. One question. Why are the security words given to type in to 'prove you're not a robot' so hard to read. It always takes me about 3 attempts. Definitely not a robot!
