From digital to dark age

How many material losses before you completely lose the plot ? We left our one and only remaining digital device, an iPad, in a taxi last night. Spent much of the night insomniac and with no clue as to the time, since watches also stolen. Local internet cafes closed. Thankgod we still had the telephone, albeit a horrible line. Managed to get sister across the sea to log into my Facebook and provide key phone number, of our hosts Angelica and Mark, leading to contact with taxi driver (thankfully a personal contact of theirs rather than anonymous) and return some hours later of iPad, for a handsome carriage fee. Am writing on it now. Another unwelcome reminder of the thin thread by which our (digital) lives hang.
