Mrs L: "do you have anything you want to do today?
Me: I thought you wanted to go car hunting? I was planning to stop off at M&S food hall for a coffee then go on to Smiths (car dealers) as we discussed yesterday. We can book your car in for (some work) at the same time.

Me: OK, I'll take the bike out for a few hours then.

Me: pulls black cloth holdall off the top shelf: Is this it?
Mrs L: no, that's a single duvet - the pillow is in there somewhere though.

Me: Can't find it in here, are you sure it's in here?
Mrs L: I've found it, it was in that black cloth holdall. While you're there, can you just get the hoover & hobver the carpet in the airing cupboard (we had mice a while back & evidence was still in the cupboard behind the hot water tank).
Me: goes & gets hover, hoovers cupboard.
