I had my first real live Skype conversation today. I bought a microphone today in Oxford Street, and I wanted to try it before I spoke to mum. So I called Melissa. And it worked very nicely.It dropped out a little, but for practically nothing that you pay for the phone call, it's great. So, if any of you out there are interested in this software, let me know. It is so easy to use, which is great. And then I can catch up with more people. :-)

Weekend otherwise was lovely. Scott and I slept in yesterday, then headed to Greenwich. I really like Greenwich, it has a lovely feel to the place. A bit sleepy, a bit touristy, crowded, noisy, quiet. It sounds strange, but that's the feeling the place gives you. It's a bit of everything. And at night time there is a green light projected into the night sky which represents the Greenwich Meridian. It's really lovely to have a visual reminder of just how close we really are to it! We wandered through the town looking at the bookshops, the people and a market. I found a bag stall in the markets that is run by a lady who makes all of the bags. I loved the bags, but I asked her if it was possible for her to put a zip into the top for me, and to make it out of a thicker corduroy fabric. So, in three weeks time, I shall have me a funky bag to show off. I have been looking for a while for something, and this seems to fit the bill. And I like the fact that I can support a small business.

Then today we headed into Oxford Street. Scott and I both needed to make purchases of work trousers, as they are getting too big, and some work shoes. We were very successful, which was great. We ended up with Dr Martens each. They will be perfect for work and other occasions.


And in other news, my lovely friend Maree had her third baby on Thursday! His name is Corbin Dominic Walker, and he is very cute. A real cuddle is not possible, but I send virtual cuddles to all members of the family!!
