A stiff blazer and squeaky new shoes on my first day at big school.
But what day is it today?
The snap my wrist made when I came off my bike at the bottom of Hatton Hill.
Who is that fussy woman who keeps coming in and clucking around me like I’m ill?
Meeting Mavis at Derek and Joanne’s wedding.
What am I doing in this bloody wheelchair?
Holding George for the very first time.
Why the hell am I lying on the floor of this horrid little room?
Learning to waltz with Mavis at the Regal Ballroom.
Where is Mavis?
