We watch our niece and nephew every Thursday for a couple of hours after school. 7 and 4. Their latest hobby is watching YouTubes of people playing a game called Roblox. A full hour’s worth and they only stopped because I turned it off and took them out for a kick about. I told them it would melt their brains.

The last computer I owned was an old Spectrum about 33 years ago. I’ve heard of this mine craft, but I’ve no idea what it is. 🤣
