where on earth would we be without the telephone? thank you mr bell! and why do i say this now?
well the last few weeks have been difficult and it's been nice to be able to pick up the phone and call people who live half a world away as if they were next door - i know my grandma appreciates me calling. actually she told me the other day (after i'd told her one of my silly stories and described myself as a 'card') that i was a lovely card and that she often told my granda how funny i was and how much i made her laugh :-) that really made me smile - right now she doesn't have that much to laugh about (having lost my granda and her husband of 68 years just a few weeks ago), so if i can bring a smile to her face, then that makes me happy...
also, the other night, feeling like a chat with my big sister, who lives in perth (why? i don't know - i keep asking her that and never really get a good answer!) and of course because of the phone, we could have a chat - we did quite a lengthy one actually - as i hung up the phone (only coz it was after midnight here) i noticed that we'd been on the phone nearly an hour!
i can't imagine trying to keep in touch with people (altho i love both email and letters - yes you know snail mail!) without the phone - it's great, i love it!
ok, gotta go - jeopardy's calling...
