[3:57:23 PM] anna: do you still not have viber or whatsapp ? [3:57:29 PM] anna: i asked you to download it [3:58:21 PM] Peter Burgess: No ... its a long story ... but I adopt new rtechnology very slowly, and then go back to what I was using before [3:58:40 PM] anna: oh okay [3:58:50 PM] Peter Burgess: I started using Yammer ... but that proved to be worse than what I was already using [3:59:11 PM] anna: but what is your number and can i text ? [3:59:21 PM] Peter Burgess: Remeber ... you are at the learning end of your life ... I am at the forgetting end [3:59:41 PM] anna: oh i see you are right [4:00:03 PM] Peter Burgess: 212 744 6469 ... an old cell phone that fills up with messages [4:00:17 PM] anna: where is your phone [4:00:19 PM] anna: ? [4:00:57 PM] Peter Burgess: I am working on getting a new phone ... but that is slow as well [4:01:19 PM] Peter Burgess: Hopefully charging ... or soemwhere lost! [4:01:33 PM] anna: okay i wanted to check if you can download viber [4:03:14 PM] anna: let me text to see if it comes through [4:03:41 PM] Peter Burgess: anna ...

The phone is a carryover from a company that a friend had ... which when the company went out of business, he had 'contracts' for phone use for years. So I really don't have access to any of the upgrades that are the norm for everyone. Hence a 3 year old situation. [4:13:18 PM] anna: oh okay [4:13:54 PM] anna: dont worry we can text for now when we want to have each other online [4:16:38 PM] anna: are you there [4:18:08 PM] Peter Burgess: I have found the web on the phone ... but it is starting to give me error messages indicating that maybe I am not a subscriber to a data service! [4:18:23 PM] anna: oh okay dont worry [4:18:34 PM] anna: we will try when you get a new phone ok [4:19:19 PM] Peter Burgess: You know I have been quiet for a time ... not because I did not want to see you and be in contact ... but because I have been in massive overload! [4:19:33 PM] anna: ha ha ha ha okay [4:20:04 PM] anna: at least we can text each other and alert each other whenever we are online [4:20:08 PM] anna: how about that ? [4:20:17 PM] Peter Burgess: Can I get a better view of you ... maybe a little more light! [4:20:58 PM] anna: now???

That should be a winning combination!!!!!!!!! [7:27:16 PM] anna: I enjoy your company. [7:27:58 PM] anna: Geeeez you got me on that. But ladies should win all the time. [7:28:28 PM] Peter Burgess: And I enjoy yours ... which could be a dangerous combination.

Good evening and I hope you had a lovely day, how are you doing ? Will be a pleasure hearing back from you, Till then take care and have a lovely night. [7:39:06 PM] anna: Ooooooh [7:39:16 PM] anna: Going to sleep already ? [7:40:18 PM] Peter Burgess: I was stealing your words ... is it you that is going to sleep ... or me? [7:40:51 PM] anna: I'm not sleeping yet and you'll pay for my words too [7:40:57 PM] Peter Burgess: You have me wide awake ... very wide awake [7:41:41 PM] Peter Burgess: But your words are really beautiful ... and a shame not to use them [7:41:56 PM] anna: Thanks dear [7:42:10 PM] anna: You really need to get a smartphone [7:42:46 PM] Peter Burgess: Pushy versus stubborn ... but one day you will be surprised [7:43:23 PM] anna: I want to hear from you every second [7:43:49 PM] Peter Burgess: Are you online on a mobile device ... that's what my Skype says??? [7:46:51 PM] anna: Yes but I'm on a computer too [7:48:16 PM] Peter Burgess: I have a feeling that you would get pretty tired of me pretty quickly ... and I really don't want that.

[7:53:35 PM] anna: Well don't let it happen again [7:54:09 PM] anna: Cos I never enjoyed it [7:57:15 PM] Peter Burgess: So ... how on earth did we meet????? I know LinkedIn is an amazing application of BigData, but you and I connecting on that platform was a long shot ... or is there something I don't know? [7:58:21 PM] Peter Burgess: And, by the way ... I am not very good at bowling [7:58:38 PM] anna: I see. [7:59:29 PM] anna: I don't actually remember how it all happen lol. Maybe I'm having a low remembrance just like you. Am I getting older ? [8:00:28 PM] Peter Burgess: What do you see? I am looking at your Skype photo that has enchanting eyes ... and a slightly wicked grin .......... [8:01:38 PM] anna: That's for you when been stubborn [8:02:25 PM] Peter Burgess: Are you getting older ... you tell me ... seems to me your at a very interesting and attractive age. Maybe some things you need to forget, like me and my lack of smart phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [8:03:21 PM] anna: Well. That's the first thing I'll ask tomorrow morning [8:04:14 PM] Peter Burgess: maybe your slightly wicked grin will encourage me to be stubborn ... it really is very becoming !!!! [8:05:22 PM] anna: Oooooooops. So tell me what will make you not stubborn [8:07:52 PM] Peter Burgess: I have found the other photos you sent ... two beautiful smiles and one very kissable lips ... but the slightly wicked smile is a winner as well [8:10:35 PM] anna: Awwwww [8:11:17 PM] anna: Thanks dear. [8:11:32 PM] Peter Burgess: Is that all you have to say ... but I must admit I love your Ooooooooooooooooops and Awwwwwwwwwws [8:11:32 PM] anna: You've not so far answered my question [8:12:34 PM] anna: What's my ooooops and awwwwws ? [8:13:10 PM] Peter Burgess: You mean ... what it is that will make me less stubborn? [8:13:40 PM] anna: Nope. Are you going to get a phone tomorrow ? [8:16:05 PM] Peter Burgess: I'm going to try ... depends a bit on the various plans they offer. It was not in my 'budget'! But being in contact with you wasn't in the plan either ... so I hope so [8:22:54 PM] Peter Burgess: If you have gone to sleep ... I understand. Seems like a rather sensible thing to do. Wish I could give you a good-night hug! LOL [8:24:29 PM] anna: Okay good. Maybe an iPhone will be better [8:24:29 PM] anna: What do you think? [8:25:18 PM] anna: Off to bed now.
