I saw my lover today. I'd seen him wednesday, so only a day apart, but because I was away on business it seemed like more of a separation somehow. Becuase of our situation I have never rung him when working away or conferencing, but I really long to do so.

As an ex-serial-mongomist I am used to 'phoning home' and miss what I've not actually had with my lover. I have memories of cosy chats with my exes from public phones in conference centres late at night when the parents had finished their homecalls.Of course this was before the ubiquity of the mobile phone.

I did send him a text from my lonely B&B, but wasn't sure if it had got through, due to weak signal in that part of Flintshire. Unlike 'the yoof' I take ages to text and use caps and punctuation. Having been taught it, I now really like predictive text.

It was lovely to get back home and even lovelier to see him today, but I miss him already...
