He had somebody. She lives thirty feet away and had been having tea with him every Thursday since the April.
ITEM 9. THE CAT.
Two tins, on every list.
He has not had a cat since 2019.
Merle went the year after his son, and he did not get another one because he said at ninety-four it was not fair on the animal.
He has been buying cat food for seven years.
It is in a cupboard in that kitchen and there are about ninety tins in there, stacked, in date order, because he does them in date order.
I found it in the April and I did not say anything about that either.
ITEM 10. THE BIRTHDAY CARD.
Last on every list.
His son Gerald was born on the nineteenth of May and went in 2019.
There is a drawer in that house with the cards in it. Seven of them, bought and written and not sent, one for every May since.
