Saturday 7th June 2003

The video phone served me even better today. The door buzzer buzzed and I went to the phone. It was a young woman who I didn’t recognise. “Hi,” she said with a strange mixture of calmness and displacement, “We’re just spending the morning visiting our neighbours in the community and wondered if you’d like a chat.”
Even though she didnÂ’t mention churches or God, I could tell from the blurry image on my screen that that was what she wanted to talk about.
But thanks to my entry phone I didn’t even have to look her in the eyes as I said “No, it’s all right, thanks.”
The paying off of the whole video phone/house arrangement is going to come a lot quicker than I had hoped.
