Hmmm…

“There was a young lady called Dahlia

Who loved to drink sangria…”

No, that’s not going to work. I’ll just have a sip to get me in the mood… Right…

“There was a dame called Sandria

Who loved to quaff sangria…”

No, that doesn’t sound any good either! I need more liquid inspiration… Mmm, lovely! Right, let’s try…

“There was a young girl called Virginia

Who enjoyed a drop of sangria…”

For heaven’s sake! Thish poeming lark ish more clompi-, compil… harder than I thought!

“Maria! Maria! Where are you? Have you drunk all the sangria?”

Zzzz…. Zzzz…. Zzzz….

‘Why did you take the photo through the window? Don’t you know anything? Look at the reflections!’

‘The keys have gone missing. And you know how it is – the estate agent needs pictures for the website today…’

‘They’re on the same ring as your car keys –in your goddamned hand! What’s wrong with you?’

‘You know I get flustered… you know that they want the pictures –’

‘-for the website today, yes, yes, you said! But we’re not going to sell grandfather’s workshop to anyone with crappy pictures like that!’

Selena strode away, shoulders hunched high, back ramrod straight. Round one to us, gramps, I thought.

Iwata-san stood on his veranda, gazing towards the horizon. Such a beautiful sight was lost on the young man. He was consumed with anger.

All he could see was the ramshackle tin and timber building behind him. Even with his back turned to the monstrosity – as he called it in meetings with his lawyer – it was there, overshadowing everything.

He cursed his father for having a mistress. For dying and leaving a will. For stipulating that his son could inherit all his land as long as Shimuzu-san could remain in her hut until her dying day.

Which would have been just about acceptable, if she hadn’t been younger than Iwata-san himself…
