Of Skype - glorious Skype

This Skype thing is a great thing. Yesterday I was in the company of three generations of my fiancee's family : her, her aunty and her grandmother. The last two were thousands of miles away in Northern Russia but they may as well have been in the lounge with us the connection was so good. Watching an 88 year old lady in a place deep behind the iron (albeit rusting) curtain is quite a thing. I guess some day soon it will be common place and something we do everyday with us all taking it all for granted.
