I mean, the way you miss people  that you have never actually met. Friends you have made on the net, I refuse to call them virtual or cyber friends. They are real people. People I have come to know. Heck, I  know their spouses, their kids. I know what they do for a living. I have been allowed in their lives, as they have been allowed in mine. We have been “speaking” by email and Yahoo messenger for almost a year. We have swapped many photos. I have learnt a little of their country as they have of mine. I have my wife and family, also a lot of friends nearby, and yet?.........

“The biggest sigh in the whole world!!!” I miss them a lot!…..what happened? Oh nothing bad. NO!!!  One is having a baby round about now – her third….so she is busy, yes? One has left her job as is looking for another and has other distractions in her life right now, and the third one…. Well, she is on holiday and her son is home from boarding school, she also has a 4 year old and a husband, so she is pretty busy too!! (sulk, sulk)………I’m not really sulking, its all good! Its just that I really miss chatting with them! We  chatted a couple of times a week, sometimes more,( indeed with one of them every day, more than once sometimes.) and now NOTHING!!! Still it will get back to normal soon.  Canardly wait, canardly. Its summer and I am sitting next to an open window, and a cold breeze is blowing in on me. Its funny, isn’t it?
