Keeping in touch by magic

The other night, Georges and I had a video whatsapp chat!

I can hardly believe that here I am in Sydney and there he is in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), and we're chatting away as though we're in the same room. 

I can't remember when we first "met", but I dug this pic out, dated January 2006. I think we go back much further than that. What a lot of water has flowed under the bridge in the meantime.

And if you remember, I've recently posted pics of his children, Grace and Tony.

It is very satisfying having so many friends all over the world, and never losing touch.
