After an hour’s read I start the usual fight with my eyelids that occurs when I’m in the middle of a great book. My lids want to close and I need them to stay open. I pray to them to let me read another line, another word. I realise it’s a losing battle and must be asleep for 0.05 of a second before my mother bursts into the room.

“For God’s sake, Mother. Do you have to be so loud? I was asleep.”

“Oh, sorry, darling. Oh well, now you’re awake. Let’s talk about Frazer.”

I prop my head up on the pillow. “Keep your voice down. He’s only a few feet away.”

“I think he’s quite fond of you, you know. He was asking me twenty questions. Especially about you and dickhead.”

“You’d better not have told him my business.”

“Well, it saves you having to do it. Now you can spend your time on other things, like what you were doing when I got here.”

“Mother.”

“Anyway, I realise I’m in the way staying here.”

“Oh, you’re leaving already? Where to this time? The Algarve? Tenerife?”

“No, darling. Just above the Horse and Hound. They have a B&B. Frazer told me.” She leans over and pets my head. “I’m not going anywhere until I see my daughter settled.”

She then turns over and is out as if someone has put a chlorophyll-filled tissue in her face.

Of course, I’m now wide awake, but on the plus side that means I can read more words. Thank goodness I brought my clip-on book light with me. I hope Trevor the landlord is prepared for what’s coming his way tomorrow.
