we won't do as well now no no <{><[>oh well <[>never mind i think <.>she's i think she's after HOW we say it not what we say mm which <{><[>is even worse isn't it <[>oh and we said some very choice things in that though i know i know oh well we can keep all that a secret <{><[>anyway can't we <[>mm right um <,> tut we er yes we are not going to go and see the albatross colony oh right we're going to do something else um i've forgotten what it is but it's something else that sophie's got in mind right um <,> tut yes so do <.>you are you still um happy to come to lunch <&>9:00 yes if that suits mm <{><[>yes that's fine <[>unless it cuts across what you want to do no no voc no it doesn't <{><[>no <[>no <,> um what <{><[>sort of time is it <[>so what time are you free what time are

twelve anyway right actually <.>she <,> mm yeah well sophie's just complicating it by saying she could pick you up but you've got voc are you taking michael back anyway er well it just means i'd <.>ha be without a <{><[>car and i have to do some things in town <[>mm mm um <,,> does she take the car to work <.>a <.>any <.>a anyway well <.>she no not always <{1><[1>but she probably would tomorrow by the sound of it <{2><[2><,> mm <[1>no <[2>right right <{><[>um <[>but no but if you want your <&>pronounced you car that might just complicate things mm no well i voc you know it could be quite good

short answer is no i haven't got anything planned laughter because i was going to say if you wanted to i mean you know <.>i i'd be getting you to work <{1><[1>very i've got no i've got one more people came in <{2><[2>i've still got two empty units tonight <{3><[3>and i don't think they'll fill up now i mean <{4><[4>it won't be unheard of it does happen <{5><[5>but um tut but one <.>these these ladies go out tomorrow <{6><[6>and it's just their unit to clean <{7><[7>and then just to service the <.>one the ones that came in tonight they're staying <{8><[8>four nights so that's quite nice <{9><[9>and so <.>that's they're in number two which is you know quite easy to sort of <{10><[10><,> do although servicing them is just the same so what i was going to say was if <.>you're if you would LIKE to it's only if you'd like to <.>y you know because you'd be you know there's nothing else very much to do you can bring your knitting and sit over here and do your knitting and <,> help me with a bed or two if you want <{11><[11>to um play it by the ear in the <{12><[12>morning and just come if you want to <[1>have you got a <.>fu have you got a full house tonight <[2>mm <[3>mm <[4>mm <[5>mm <[6>mm <[7>mm <[8>mm <[9>mm <[10>mm <[11>mm mm <&>11:00 <[12>mm mm mm okay <{><[>mm <[>and sophie can drop you off and if we should NEED a ride if by chance the car doesn't come home or it doesn't <.>s it doesn't seem viable i can always ring sophie at work and say pass by can't i mm mm and if you're here we can say well pass by mm mm <{><[>oh that sounds fine yeah <[>play it <.>by tut play it by ear mary because i don't want to you know i mean you <.>don't i'm not wanting you you to feel you have to come here but if you're doing nothing very much cos there's nothing very much to do <,> there and you want to you can come and do your knitting <{><[>here if you want to <[>mm mm oh well thank you for that yes <{1><[1>well we'll see how it goes <{2><[2>yes <[1>you know and then <[2>yes and then as i say you know if you wanted to well we could just sort of work on that put our washing out and then we could sort of feel as though we've got a little bit further on the way but i mean don't feel that's necessary for me to get out for lunch because i've got enough here mm of people who are able to help and voc with only one unit i mean i can quite capably do that <{1><[1>on my own so it's <.>not it's not that i i'm i don't want you to feel you HAVE to come <{2><[2>but if you just thought to yourself well you might as come down with sophie <[1>mm mm <&>12:00 <[2>mm mm um and sit around here and enjoy talking well that's fine mm okay so that sounds fine mm and now um would you like to come then for tea at night does that suit did you mention that to sophie yeah i did mention that to sophie just a moment and <.>i'll i'll see hang on cos paul has arranged now for <,> he is going to show the slides <{><[>tonight yes yes <[>oh is he right yeah yeah <&>rest of utterance addressed to sophie sophie how did you feel about looking at nepal slides paul's yes <.>she's she's very keen to see them <{><[>mm <[>right well come for dinner because as i say it's going to be you know it's going to be quite simple i've got that all sort of sorted in my mind mm and um <,> then he's just said he's actually <.>his one of his LAST year's flatmates why wasn't she able to go i think he forgot that she also might like to see them that's right and i ran into her in the supermarket and she was very keen to see the slides because she's not <&>13:00 flatting with them this year <{1><[1>cos she's a teacher now not a university student and um he's just rung her and i'm not sure if her flatmate's coming over as well but she's coming over as well and he said to her sometime between half past seven and eight so <.>that's i said to him well probably what we'll do we'll actually have coffee and dessert when they come <,> as the last part of our bit you know <{2><[2>we'll have our main but it'll be all very informal and nothing <,> too complicated <{3><[3>or anything like that <[1>mm <[2>mm <[3>mm mm mm okay okay well that sounds a very good plan for the day <{><[>that's as long as you are assuring me that i'm not <.>mess <.>muck messing up YOUR plans <[>right no no no <.>we're no we're not um <.>we we're sort of fairly fluid about this sort of thing because um tut yes i think when <.>you're when you're <,> taking time off and really sophie is sort of on holiday <{1><[1>too and you just don't um inhales you don't like to be too structured <{2><[2>do you mm mm <[1>yes <[2>no no no well that sounds really good well look if you turn up here in the morning we can play it by ear as to whether <&>14:00 we wait for the car to come home or whether we ring sophie and say we are standing on the side of the road waiting to be picked up mm <{><[>right <[>or whether we <,> walk into town and walk to sophie's i mean you know that's not beyond us either mm so that's um we'll wait and see and if you don't turn up then i will turn up to sophie's but it will be sometime after half past twelve if that's all right yeah that's great okeydoke okay
