People will find this behaviour weird, but when one of you works nights, you've little time to communicate. You're leaving for work as they walk in the door, and vice versa. You have to blurt it out. "Morning, Bubb, right. The dog retrieved the cake he hid under the Hawthorn 3 days ago and ate it. There are two sauces on the side, one for the potatoes, one for the chicken. I've replaced the light bulb in the kitchen. The dog has had his tablet. He seems a lot happier. I'm off now, bye."
