It's sad to say it, but I understood very few words in that first paragraph. I'm completely ignorant!

I got your postcard yesterday!! It was lovely, thank you. x

Sorry, just proving lilitufire's point that maybe I am a 'geek'. Basically it amounts to free international telephone calls between computers equipped with ADSL and speakers and a microphone.

Very useful for maintaining long-distance relationships while avoiding bankruptcy!

Glad the postcard reached you :-) Am still working through my post mountain, but haven't seen a postcard yet...

ohh noooooooooooo

When I read that about not having had my postcard yet, I thought, "Really? that's weird," and then a grey feeling of dread came over me. I haven't sent it yet! I'm so sorry
