After having installed an ADSL, I had to buy a phone. Yesterday I was calling
to national landlines. As soon as I got home, I took my appointment book and started
dialing as many numbers as I could, until it was too late to phone a
respectable person. It was as in that advertisement, many years ago, in which
an impertinent child took possession of the family phone.
This is one of the advantages of having a flat rate. One can have a trendy
“vintage” experience for nothing and get into a trunk full of souvenirs.
Sometimes, I felt a bit embarrassed: “Do you remember me...? How are you
doing... by the time being?” I rediscovered a lot of names that had been
forgotten in my appointment book for a long time due to the lack of a mobile
number or a Facebook connection. Anyway, I have noticed that only a few people
use a landline nowadays... and that many landline numbers y had once written in
my book are no longer in use.
I started putting some things in the fridge for future visits. As a grandma
of the seventies, thinking what everyone likes and buying some kicknacks to
offer to friends.
My current goal is to get ten more new students by the end of the year.
Let’s go in for it. The countdown starts.
