Hi Rhiannon
I'm trying to find bits of your work that I haven't yet read - and came across this. It was cleverly done, and made me laugh although there was a serious message intended. I have an acquaintance who calls me all the time, and goes on and on. I had to clunk the phone down on her lots of times, but now I have said I will talk to her once a week - which seems a reasonably compromise. I do hate the phone.
