conv: When my daughter went to university_comma_ and wife travelled abroad for work_comma_ I had the whole house to myself. I found the place became empty really quickly. Having the whole house to your self sometimes isn't as good as it may seem! I can imagine the loneliness someone can experience. My whole family is out the house for a few months. I'm going to be so bored with no one around... Get your self a friend to stay with for a couple of months.
