I believe there to be something rather magical about Skype. Despite the vagaries of flaky internet connection, clunky video and annoying fraction of second audio delay, the sheer joy of having a 'face to face' conversation with a distant loved one is one of the wonders of the modern age. To see their happy, smiling face, to watch them laugh, to get a blurry look at the new plant they've bought, or even just to recognise the outfit they're wearing is such a reassuring and heartwarming thing. Thank you Skype wizardy people!
and ducks, don't forget the ducks!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't at all sure that people would understand about the ducks, but yes, seeing the ducks was good too!
ReplyDeleteYes Skype is great, how else could we watch our grandson in Houston eat his breakfast yesterday and talk to him about - well I don't know what really - but it doesn't matter, it was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt's those little things that mean so much, isn't it! Now, if only they could find a way of sending hugs ....
