Skype ...whoopeeeeee!

Having been encouraged to register on this system for some time, I am at last "connected" - and what a revelation - one can "rabbit on" for hooooouuurs - for freeee! (Providing your friends are also on the system.) The only thing I find odd is that there are swooshy, gurgly sounds the p.c. emits to alert one to a call - strange swallowing and slurping noises which conjure up what one imagines are antidiluvain clamour, or legendary Continental plumbing systems --uuurrrggh....... The most useful application is that one can talk and write a message simutaneously - very ingenious......the only thing missing on my machine is a camera - that is my next venture - and I've been waiting for this - to add a camera. No, this is not one of the latest models with a built in lens, but as soon as I organise it, I want to try the breathing exercises, and check up with my breathers that all is in order wherever they are in the world.....what endless possibilities. The only problem that might arise would be the international clock - not always sure which way the earth is turning when I'm half asleep, I'm sure you know what I mean......? Today I took a few deep breaths during a violent thunder storm. At one point I thought the roof was about to be blasted off and Shady beat a hasty retreat under my bed - wise cat ! He's doing very well for his age - still leaping up and down trees, chasing strange cats out of the garden and lounging on the swing seat, purring lustily the while - what a life...., no care or strife....hope you're all in the same state...My latest senior citizen bonuses are having a nationwide free bus pass, and no television fee to pay - just think what you all have to look forward tooooooo - ...! Yes, I'm off again - giggling ....and feeling very sprightly .... must be all the breathing I get through with my lovely singers - how privileged and blessed I am to have such a wonderful way of occupying my days .... big hugs to you all, I'm so proud of you.......k..p b.......g
