Waiting for a vaccine against Coronavirus to become available. Waiting for restrictions to be lifted. Waiting to see family and friends again, who have become separated from us … Continue reading Waiting, Waiting, Waiting!

A good old fashioned 1970’s styled phone where you physically needed to dial a number. I can still remember my answering script to this day.
