@##!!!%**!!#$ telephone!

Dear Family,
It is now 3.35am, here 7.30pm there (on Sat. eve for you.)
I have been trying to ring now for over 30 minutes, & the call WILL NOT go through. I have no idea
what is going on, but I am VERY disappointed. I have been waiting all night to ring, & now this.
I can see you all gathered there, talking all at once, & it is delightfully noisy!! Yet I CAN'T hear it, thanks to this telephone. I have checked the # so many times, so that is not the problem. I will ring Mrs. Junie tomorrow arvo, her time, but am very frustrated @ not being able to ring tonight.
I'm sure you are all having a great time, & will go on till the wee hours, if I know my family.
I'm going to bed now, but probably won't sleep, as I feel very "let down." I'll expect to hear lots
of comments about the evening. Love to you all. Kell
