"Is that your phone?" Norma asks.
"Is it?" I've changed the ring tone without knowing, but the sound is coming from my bag.
"Hello"
"Is that Lynda?"
I answer, and listen while a disembodied lady's voice from Grow (Government Housing) in Kalgoorlie apologies for phoning while I'm on holiday, but she thought I'd like to know I have a house inspection on the 23 July.
"When's that?" I ask.
"Wednesday" she replies, and continues, "they've written saying, due to a very busy workload the date/time is not negotiable, and if you can't be there they will use their master key."
Isn't it funny how the tone of a letter can make you annoyed. Of course I won't be there on a Wednesday morning and really it doesn't matter if I'm there or not. What does matter is that Chardy is not found inside.
So all I have to do is clean up a bit and put the dog outside.
Nothing to worry about at all......Well about that I'll keep you posted.

This place marks
a superb spot,
where everyone expects
me to reside,
to germinate undisturbed,
dispassionate, deep.
They do not know
it is an empty...
