My Life in A&E

By gilvratina

Greetings from China / BBTPC

I did 2 interesting things today.....one was to "descale" a plant using soapy water and the other was having a big Skype with My Man in Shanghai.

As you can see from the picture, he was happy to be photographed and we had a long chat. Which was good and, as always, funny as. If I have learnt anything in 2014, it's that it's good to talk.

I actually still write the occasional letter, you know. And I get the occasional one back. I like it a lot, although I am not as disciplined at it as they were (or even as I was) back in the day. Och, who am I kidding, I was never very disciplined at answering letters, despite the fact that I remember so well that excitement when the post used to drop through the letterbox.

Postcards used to be a great thing amongst my school pals. You could ask almost anyone to send you a postcard without it being flirtatious or causing offence (or anxiety as it probably would now). I liked that.

I do get excited when emails ping into my inbox.......but it's not the same.

Maybe this could be another "resolution" for 2014 - bring back the postcard!

Of course, having said that, I have just been on holiday for a week and sent none.

Typical.
