Blog Prompt - If I had 24 hours to evacuate my home before it was to be destroyed by a hurricane, what 10 things would I grab. This is so topical at the moment with the dreaful death toll from those bushfires in Victoria. My uncle lives at Yarra Junction which is now a town that may be in danger if the winds start coming from the north.
I have often thought about this and my list would be, in priority order and if I had time:

• my bag with my purse in it - its always on the table
• my camera which is almost always in my bag
• my external hard drive - it has so many photos on it
• my laptop
• my baby photo
• my photo box with hundreds of photos in it.
• my jewllery - might need to sell it for money
• my file that contains birth certificates, marriage certificates - it is easy to grab
• the large box containg old photo albums
• my husbands cricketing momentoes.

The photo above has appeared in many newspapers around the world - it is a scene from the Victorian bushfires.

Prompt for today: Can you survive without e-mail? How has it changed your life?
Email has changed my life as it helps me to be in contact with people from around the word in an instant. For example our neice got married 4 days ago and we had photos within 24 hours. Her family live in Western Australia. She got married in Scotland.
Email has changed my life - I can answer quickly any queries, people can send me reminders as my dementia seems to sometimes appear publicly. My Admin officer at work can send me reminders that I can read when I have the time to digest her reminder.
I have always had penfriends up until I had children in my mid twenties. Email lets me to continue to have that.

Go Email!!!!!
