“Take the third exit…
That was the second. The satnav doesn’t always recognise supermarkets”
“How was I supposed to know?
What time were we supposed to have arrived?”
“Midday.”
“And we will be there at 12:10 according to the Satnav.
We will be late. You are always late.”
“Late is if we arrive after it finishes.
This is the sort of event where we just join in when we get there.”
This was the sound track to every trip we made on our journey together,
until one day we could not have the conversation
because one of us wasn't there.
