It’s the really trivial stuff you miss after a long marriage. “Guess who I met on the bus, you’ll never guess, go on.” “I must tell you a lovely conversation I overheard in the check out queue at Morrisons.” All the sort of nothing stuff you come home thinking about and want to unload to your loved one before it fades, knowing that tomorrow it will have gone completely as it was so piddling.
