of phone calls, she seemed to enjoy <strong>the</strong> attention and our many<br />
often quite long chats. Usually of <strong>the</strong> pattern, ‘How are you?<br />
What’s <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r like <strong>the</strong>re? Still nice? Good here too? How<br />
is work? What is <strong>the</strong> latest on your books and our efforts by<br />
both of us to f<strong>in</strong>d better hous<strong>in</strong>g through <strong>the</strong> Council?’ She got<br />
back for <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al week before she went away this last time<br />
before her holiday <strong>in</strong> Cornwall start<strong>in</strong>g Saturday 30 th August for<br />
a week, on Wednesday 30 th July, go<strong>in</strong>g back now as I write on<br />
Wednesday 6 th August, and due to return Tuesday 26 th August.<br />
Nearly <strong>the</strong> whole time she was home last time, however, it was<br />
‘bus<strong>in</strong>ess not pleasure’ – I helped her <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> answers and<br />
above all spell<strong>in</strong>g and grammar <strong>in</strong> a work book she had to<br />
complete on be<strong>in</strong>g a care worker <strong>in</strong> her <strong>in</strong>duction to her present<br />
job. My own English is far superior to her own, so she found<br />
this very useful. On <strong>the</strong> Friday I prepared avocado v<strong>in</strong>aigrette<br />
hors d’oeuvres <strong>with</strong> a ma<strong>in</strong> course of gammon steaks, a huge<br />
salad mostly of organic vegetables, some given to me by my<br />
bro<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> previous week; and f<strong>in</strong>ally stuffed fresh pasta.<br />
We had ano<strong>the</strong>r break from f<strong>in</strong>ish<strong>in</strong>g off that damned workbook<br />
only on <strong>the</strong> Sunday 3 rd August. Julie had found a barbecue <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> sale at Argos at Hoddesdon for just £11 – <strong>the</strong> last one she<br />
said – but it had ra<strong>in</strong>ed for several days – so we ate <strong>the</strong> BBQ<br />
food <strong>in</strong>doors, cooked <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> oven by her at her flat, <strong>with</strong> me<br />
see<strong>in</strong>g Rachel <strong>the</strong>re for <strong>the</strong> first time <strong>in</strong> months. Julie and I had<br />
shopped for it on Saturday morn<strong>in</strong>g at Harlow Tesco’s, where<br />
we also shopped for a pair of tra<strong>in</strong>ers each, and some pr<strong>in</strong>ter<br />
<strong>in</strong>k for me. I had ordered an absolutely beautiful bright blue<br />
kaftan for her for <strong>the</strong> beach on holiday, and she really likes it.<br />
Now on <strong>the</strong> Monday I ordered <strong>the</strong> swimsuit she liked, to go <strong>with</strong><br />
it, from <strong>the</strong> same Littlewoods catalogue, but it arrived on <strong>the</strong><br />
Wednesday, <strong>after</strong> she had just left to go off for work for nearly<br />
three weeks! I have s<strong>in</strong>ce surprised her by order<strong>in</strong>g a really<br />
nice ‘Wonderbra’ <strong>in</strong> her size, due to arrive <strong>next</strong> Monday. I have<br />
also let her off <strong>the</strong> last £46.27 due to repay <strong>the</strong> phone bill debt<br />
as I reckon she has already paid me enough at £138.54…<br />
We f<strong>in</strong>ished <strong>the</strong> damned workbook just <strong>in</strong> time before she went<br />
to work aga<strong>in</strong>, and posted it off to get rid of it to her company<br />
