Good news. Sally and I are talking to each other. Better
than that we are actually friends. This
is important news as we have 8 weeks ahead and it’s best we get off to a good
start. Those long-time married couples amongst
you will understand: of course you love each other but being friends is what counts.
But if we do fall out over something trivial, like taking
missing a turn on the road, then we have a new friend to help us out. It’s Sandra,
our New Zealand SatNav. She’s great: always calm, knowledgeable without
bragging, and sooo understanding. If I take a wrong turn then there are no
histrionics. She calmly points out that I may, perhaps, have unwittingly made a
small insignificant error and then will guide me back to the correct route with
some soothing words.
And if Sally and I should ever fall out on this trip then I
think Sandra will be there to help us patch up our differences. Yes, Sally and
I are friends but Sandra, well she is just programmed to help.
