I’m hoping to go to more tweetups. It’s a great way to meet fellow expats and even a few Frenchies. 🙂

Yes, it was great. I stayed to the end when the crowd got thinner and it was easier to talk to people.

Hi Jill, I’m delighted my explanation was understandable – young people are so intuitive that they get impatient with our generation. I explained how her iphone works to a friend whose daughter actually refused to help her! Leonardo used to say “you wouldn’t understand” but as he’s got older he’s changed a lot and is now very good. He used to sit down at my computer to show me something and within 2 minutes he’d changed all the settings and I’d never know how to get them back. Black Cat has always been good at explaining but she wasn’t using Twitter herself. If you have a smart phone, I’m sure you would enjoy twittering. You can learn lots of interesting things.

My daughter was only saying the same thing yesterday about smart phones.. my son used to do the very same to me on computer! ugh…such a wizz but no patience 🙂
Off for my french fix at alliance today..I just love it..have a wonderful parisien day!
I’ve just stumbled across your blog via Twitter as I too am a new tweeter and still learning the ropes! I’m also Australian (half anyway), married to a French man, now living in the south near Nice, running a gîte, after 10 years in Paris. I love reading about other people’s experiences that are similar and yet different to mine. I’m going to follow you on Twitter (and hope you’ll follow me back) and I lok forward to hearing more of your insights! Oh and BTW I have an aunt in Townsville!!!

Hello and welcome! I’ll definitely follow you on twitter. I need to do twitter follow-up post because I’ve learnt new things since I wrote this post. What is your aunt’s surname? It’s a small place – I might know her.

They may be related to the Low’s. There was a grocery shop called Yuen’s, I seem to remember.
Thanks for the very understandable description of Twitter, Rosemary. I was sorry to have missed the recent Tweet-up as they’re a really good way to meet other bloggers.

Have rectified that! Sorry …
