Women's talk

There was a time when women came together to exchange knitting patterns and and recipes. I would have greeted my female friends with homemade cookies and a tidy house. Or, perhaps we would have talked of sex, women's rights and politics.

As it is, I phone on my mobile to say I'm running late. She's waiting at the door when I arrive. Before there's time for the kettle to boil, our Macs are out and we're on the sofa sharing new sites and applications.

Lucy, as of the former Vitriolica Webb's Ite and now of Blogzira, shows me how to make podcasts with Garage Band (including music and pictures). Lucy gets excited by Flock, Moo and netvibes and I am amazed at the visuals and the design of the Etsy site ("your place to buy and sell all things hand made").

Time passes in an instant. Before we know it, two hours have passed and Lucy has to collect the kids from school. I pass on a great tip for never spending more than ten minutes in preparing del.icio.us ... I mean delicious.... dinners for the family.

Laptops back in shoulder bags and rucksacks ... and we hurry back to our respective lives. So much fun to be had on our computers - interrupted only by work and family and people!
