我的房東(四)
前幾天，跟房東娘才聊到他們是如何相遇的。兩人都是二度結婚，而雖然在一起十四年了，但去年才去愛登堡正式結婚。起初，Sol想要省錢，所以住在一戶人家每天打掃整理兩個小時換取免費的住宿，而Bernie則是因工作關係，成了房客。兩人認識了一年才開始交往，但看到他們夫婦倆，我到覺得蠻可愛的!!
這幾天長住下來，陸陸續續的聽到他們兩的故事，也算是屈折，但是在一起十幾年的歲月，難不免也會累積生活留下來的痕跡。
They just got married last year as Bernie’s divorce took a very long time. When they were in Edinburgh, they took the sleepers train to go up, arrive the next morning, and after checking the prices of a hotel room, they had a shower at the station where you need to pay 2 quid for! They had lunch at one of the food halls, and it was a set meal for 2.49 each for chinese…. Can’t believe you can still get that sort of prices here in UK, but maybe up in Scotland its really cheap! Sol didn’t even have the right dress for the wedding yet, so went shopping first and then they caught a train to Queensbury to get married. The only reason they went to Edinburgh is because they can get married straight away for the marriage license, instead of waiting 3 weeks for it in London.
Bernie use to work for the Royal Air Force, after retiring, he was working in one of the manufacturing companies for aeroplanes before he fell sick with prostate cancer and a collapse disc in his spine. Both operations he had would’ve been okay if he didn’t get his wound infected, whereby he had to spend more time in the hospital. He was bed ridden for some time, was really sick, and at that time they still had the house in the country where Sol was working in London already.
I am glad to have met them, they are so kind and many people have taken advantages of them. The 2 Yolis turned out to be awful people.. Kept borrowing money from sol and not returning it.
