Keeping In Touch

After pleasant conversation and tasty dinner at Chez Neighbour-Friend-Karen (thank you), Dad settled down to a conversation with my brother via SMS. A few days ago (well, on my birthday actually!) my 9 year old niece called me (Skype) to say she now has her own laptop (school requirement) and so we would be able to talk more often, which we love to do together. Meanwhile, my land line phone bill last month was, once again, less than a lira - and the only 'real' overland letters I get are from the Bank.
