Either we spend a lot of time on Skype and we each get on with what we need to do as well. OR we fix a much shorter time each day when we give each other our total attention. You have to understand that I do always have a lot to do here and I can't just leave things - I'm already too good at procrastinating. When I was in Thailand I took some time to make a list of important things I needed to deal with - most of them - nearly all in fact - I still haven't done.
