Evelyn heard a noise out the back, somewhere in the yard, but couldn't be sure it was their yard. The district nurse had come to shower Ron and she liked to stay in the house when the nurse was here. It wasn't that she didn't trust her, she did, but Evelyn felt it was really her job, despite knowing that Ron wouldn't have her shower him and had agreed only to the district nurse because that was her calling. Since his last stroke he had lost a lot of movement down his left side, and it was since then that. the nurse had been coming to wash him.

Evelyn heard the noise again and decided to go out and see. Down at the back gate, coming in from the lane, she could see the gate opening. Soon she saw a bloke wearing work clothes and a hat to keep the fierce sun off him. He was carrying a whipper-snipper, so she went on down.

He walked towards her, and neither seemed to know the other. He stopped when he realised she seemed put out.

"John asked me to come and mow your lawns," he told her. John was Evelyn's son.

"He didn't say anything to me about it," she replied, sounding irritated.

The man seemed awkward, and pushed his hat up off his face. "They look like they could do with mowing," he offered.

"Of course they could do with mowing. There was three inches of rain a fortnight ago."
