A Match Made In Heaven

 Terry wants to go to Thailand. It's warmer there, it's cheaper, and the Care Home he stays in over there takes such very good care of one....

Last time he went they welcomed him- jet-lagged and not the least bit hungry- with an enormous Thai meal (just for him) and took pictures of him with the meal spread out in front of him and the ever-so-caring staff standing behind him.

Would it invade his privacy if I published one of those photos here? 

Yes, it might, so I won't. I have a horror of invading people's privacy. Something to do with having once been a priest. It means your secrets are safe with me.

Anyway, Terry- who is in his mid 80s- doesn't feel up to going by himself. He needs an escort, a carer. "Wendy might do it" we said, so we asked her- and she rather jumped at the opportunity. Only conditions are that she gets to take Mary with her (Mary would have the mother of all tantrums if she were left behind-) and an understanding that all her expenses are paid for and she gets a bit of pocket money.

I think the plan for today is to get Wendy and Terry together so they can negotiate. They have met before but Terry won't remember....
