Could you pick me up about 11 am on Thursday? Perhaps you would be kind enough to drop the lovely Mrs Goddersand her friend off at the Ocean Terminal at the same time. Can I bring my dog with me? He's not too big for an Alsatian but he does eat quite a lot. Talking of food I always have a cooked breakfast and I get grumpy if I don't have my lunch at twelve o'clock sharp. In the afternoon I like to watch all the quiz and antique shows on the telly and I like my supper at six thirty in the evening. I don't drink beer so perhaps you could lay on a selection of red wines, French preferably. I struggle a bit with the stairs so if you can put a bed down stairs for me that would be perfect. Also I like to listen to the wireless in the night so perhaps you can arrange for one to be put in my room. I am a little hard of hearing so I hope the volume at which I listen wont keep you awake. I will need some assistance with my ablutions. Can you fit a stool in the shower and some hand rails by the WC. I am looking forward to coming and I wont be any bother.
Are you sure it's not your wife going into respite care?
How did I never see it!!!
