Hi Judith,
It makes you cringe for them, doesn't it?
How can the woman over the road say they have a 'connection'?
It's really strange, and actually, rather sad. Do you know what excuse he gives her as to why he can't make international calls? I know she calls him her boyfriend, and that she's been in an LDR with him for one year - so it seems very strange to me that they've never even spoken! They obviously both have computers, so why don't they Skype? My guess is that he uses his work computer to 'talk' to her - because he's either bored, or finds it amusing. I can just see his colleagues in the bus station all laughing together as he taps out nonsense to her on MSN (or whatever they use) and him swinging round in his chair, a cup of cay in his hand and a fag on the go, while they all SHOUT out to him and tell him to write even MORE rubbish to her!
You'd think she'd really want to know why he can't phone her wouldn't you? He obviously can't use his work phone, and no way would he use his mobile - and if he does have a phone at home - he's probably got a wife breathing down his neck. Why doesn't she phone him, I wonder? It sounds very, very suspicious!
Mind you, she has learnt how to make courgette fritters - so at least she's gained
something out of the LDR!
