You definitely have an eye for composition, Shaun, and your technical skills show you've been working on them.  That's my problem, I'm pretty good at composing, but a techie, I'm not.  Maybe some day.....

Gobsmacked - another great British English word. 

What a dilemma.  

I was on the phone with a Microsoft rep and my son Skypes me from Korea. I wanted to drop the Micorsoft guy, but he was so close to getting my computer fixed. My son only had a few minutes. It was truly awful!

I did Skype him back as soon as I got off the phone, but then only had about five minutes chap with my lad.

Oh well, five minutes seeing and hearing is much better than no minutes.  

Sue, I am so glad you got at least 5 minutes with your boy! You are right some is better than none. 

I spent the day today cleaning my Mum's place. It made her feel so much better which in turn made me feel good. Lovely how that works!!
