If your Monday is shaping up a fraction as badly as mine is, you may welcome some light relief – looking at pretty pictures, perhaps? Then get yourself over to Flickr, a fantastic online community of photographers whose snaps can lift the spirits and gladden the heart. Among their number is my friend Jaanus, author of the Skype Share blog.

Jaanus's Flickr page is a treasure trove of Skype screenshots, birthday cards sent to Skype by creatively-minded Skypers, and even some shots of Skype's new Tallinn office – a work in progress, but already looking more green and pleasant than anything you'll see in London.

Taxi for Hoskyn to Estonia, please!
