Meet Margaret at George's café. She has plans to attend a 65th birthday party, getting a ride there with a widower now sitting at the next table - but she's careful to add that she's not going with him - he can go and talk to his own friends once they're there. She and Leslie share a bacon and egg sandwich.
Stop at MTN to complain that my mobile won't send texts to Norway. They take it seriously, call me back, have me get the settings rechecked, and give me a new SIM card. A young man called Zacharias even gives me his phone number in case of problems. In Smart Store, on the way home, Maggi phones and, oddly, I can hear the Scots accent seconds before I identify the voice. She'll be here on Tuesday. Try texting her later, but no joy. When I phone, though, that does connect. Encouraging, but maddening.
