Granny tries a scooter in Singapore

Imagine this one electric

This one even has a seat

 There is always something new to discover and new to try before you pop your clogs and there is a lot to give rise to an optimistic future for we Grannies.  For a start, i pads for us will be our way of communicating not our way of staying dry!  We won't need zimmers and walking sticks if we can master the new electric scooter. I am sure you have seen small children zooming along at speed on their little scooters, paddling the ground with one foot while they stand on the platform with the other.  They weave along the pavement dodging Grannies and dogs with their mothers calling them to stop at the end of the pavement.  They have made electric ones for us now although they are being marketed for executive types to get to work but that is only to  make them seem cool.  They are really been made for us, I know because I tried one in Singapore.  Easy it is and you zoom along just like your grandchild but with no effort, you just stand on the platform and lightly turn the handle and off you go.  Perhaps they will invent docking devices so that we can glide into a safe place without tipping off but I'm sure that's what they are working on.  Then watch out, no more Granny stuck at home, we will be out and about as soon as we can order our very own scooter from the internet on our i pad.  Move over young people, we are on the move in cyber space and shortly we will be on our way down the High Street too.  All the more time to meditate if we get to our destination quicker after all.

This one isn't even electric
