My husband and I send each other texts now and again.  They’re not a substitute for speaking to each other face to face or on the phone, but a needs must action in our very busy lives. If honest, they fall roughly into two categories:

• From my husband to me – can you text me all the events we’ve (he means you’ve) planned over the next few weeks so I can get my calendar up to date?
• Me to my husband – can you get me [insert item name] from the shops please when you go shopping (because I HATE shopping)?

There used to be a time when we didn’t have texts to fall back on to communicate our needs … surprising really that we’ve lasted this long together.

Must dash . . . my phone’s buzzing . . .
