Postcards from the South

Greetings and salutations from the frozen South, the land that has so much ice its sheer mass is keeping the Earth on an even keel and balance out all those big continents in the Northern hemisphere. Well, I'm sure someone around the world believes that one...

A few short months ago I was contacted through a marvellous network of people working off the 6 degrees of seperation theory and asked to send a postcard to the Handley Homeschool in Redmond, WA, USA. And now I'm finally getting off my lazy bum and doing as I promised and posting a photo of the postcard before sending on the next available post..... on a flight in Novemeber.

In the mean time, email and phone calls are definitely the best ways to stay in contact with people down here. Unfortunately video calling software is generally blocked as they are peer to peer based and they don't let us have those sorts of programs. Of course, for these sorts of conversations to work each side has to actually remember to reply to the other, which is something I've been guilty of not doing recently. Sorry people.
