Not brave as such, but years ago before we all had computers, DD was backpacking in Australia.
I plucked up courage and went to the local further education college where you could go on a computer for a free session. I was an absolute novice, but I so wanted to send her an e Mail, I must have somehow received one from her, must have gone up there to read it on a communal device.
I struggled through, sent her a load of unpunctuated, non- paragraphed drivel as I couldn’t keep asking the poor staff to assist this idiot who didn’t even know how to switch the damn thing on!
She received it, and said “Oh Mum, that was so brave of you! I know how nervous you must have been!”
Sounds daft now I know, but I was so thrilled to have this communication with her.
