inspired by the Generous site, is to ring people more, rather than email (or ignore) them.
Last night The Spouse™ was late back so I took the opportunity to ring a few people. One was out, but rang me back; one was out, and has a generic answering machine message (though I think I remember it from last time I rang) so I'm not 100% certain I got the right one, and one was in, and we had a nice chat, but she sounded predictably tired, having a 3-month-old baby boy.
One, however, who lives in France, was not there - and the person who answered the phone told me he was in England "visiting some Protestants". My French is not brilliant but it's not that bad so I am fairly sure that was what he said... and I don't think his first language was French as he spoke slowly! To clarify, this friend lives in a mainly-Catholic-but-ecumenical community in France, but is English, so it's not too surprising that he should be in England - or that the person at the community there should specify the denomination of who he's visiting!
But I bet it's his parents.... and he's just skiving...
