Friends Again

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.
