Like all parents we worry about the lifestyle of our kids: in this case, Jamie and Nera. We know they have a good income but shudder, sometimes, at their lavish expenditure. So, we were pleased when we heard that their New Year's Resolution was to be a little more careful with their cash. It's January 2nd and we have a call from Jamie to say that they are in Harvey Norman picking out a new karaoke system which Nera had seen at a friend's place last night. Apparently, it plays the same songs as other systems but the 'interface' is much more 'user-friendly'. Perhaps their understanding of 'being more careful' is slightly different to mine.
However, I can't say anything. Jamie called in today with a very interesting box for us. It was a belated Christmas gift of a new internet system for the house. Apparently, it 'paints the house with internet' so that no corner is left out. It was a very generous gift but we're now implicated in their extravagance. And, he's right: there is a noticeable difference in the internet.
