“What did she say? What did she mean?” We explained
as best we could...
“Ooh, I say!” said Mum. An expression she used a lot. But you didn’t stop there for next you came out with a

Oh, Marilyn, that was you all over! Your sense of
humour was something else!
The carer left – very bemused, I would imagine – and
we went on to explain to Mum about the time we did sleep

and sat myself on the little round seat, squashed up against the wall to give you enough room to sit down. Drawing the curtain we were already laughing, trying to wind the seat up and down to comfortably park our two big bottoms on it – and to work out our different heights, for all we could see in the glass panel was the top of my head – you being much taller. Unbeknown to me, you had put a £1.00 coin into the slot.
Suddenly an unpleasant smell became apparent. I looked at you...
