We had a crazy busy day yesterday, but it also included a nice long visit with my friend Chantal and her boys. Ella had so much fun, even if her part of the home school fair is turning into a much bigger thing than she expected.
Did I show Ella’s socks for Crafting On/Yarn Along last week? The blue ankle socks are hers, she says that’s the way she likes her socks. Also working on some Christmas presents. Some thick socks for Grandma and a pair of cozy socks for her too.
Ella found a really cool book series when we were in the city last weekend. It’s classic books re-done in manga -Ella’s favourite. She bought Romeo and Juliet. She’s eager to get the Tom Sawyer too. I’d love to get her the whole series.
Does any one out there know anything about talking with people over the internet (like a phone call)? Ella chats with all her gamer friends on Discord but just by chat. How much internet does a voice call take? Right now Ella can only talk with friends in person when she’s at the library because we only have 100G a month and I’m afraid a call will put us over the limit.
At Home With Us 
My daughter found her way into those manga classics too! I appreciate your patience for socks. I’ve not gotten the hang of it yet.
I know there are plenty of online video call sites, though I’m sorry I don’t know about data usage. We have everything set up to connect to our home WiFi internet so it doesn’t charge data to our phone accounts.
We’ve got wifi in the house too. It’s just that we don’t have unlimited and I am very careful that we don’t go over our monthly limit, it gets very pricey when you go over.
My family use Skype a lot. I don’t think it uses a lot of bandwidth. I was in the big smoke last week and had a tour through Romni. I came home with a bag of socks waiting to be assembled!
I don’t know about how much it would use; but you may find this helpful:
