The first internet

I spent last weekend in the Blue Mountains with Tim's family - it was a lovely leech filled getaway (OK, far nicer than a leechy getaway but a leech filled walk was the cause of much panic and therefore sticks in my mind!).

His folks had been sent a telegram which was rather fun. The top of it proudly stated 'Telegraph - The First Internet'. Hmmmm. Is this where the marketing of telegrams has gone - latching onto the success of the world wide web? I told my sister and she has requested that she only be addressed in morse code from now on (anther dying art - morse code. I'm making s summer to do list and it crossed my mind that perhaps learning morse code should be on it...but nah, I'll stick with learning proper grammar).
