Preparing for the holidays

Roy: Have you got everything ready?

Judy: Almost. These are your things, mine are over there, and Dave has packed

his own bag. It's an awful lot, all together. Shep's things will take up a lot of

space too. - Have you been to the post office?

Roy: Yes. I've told them to hold our mail, and I've paid all the bills.

Judy: And you've cancelled the paper and the milk?

Roy: Oh yes, I did that yesterday. I collected the passport too.

Judy: Whose passport?

Roy: Dave's. You remember, it had to be extended.

Judy: Oh yes, of course. Goodness, I forgot all about it. There are so many things

to think of... Have you talked to John and Morna about the garden?

Roy: Yes. John's going to mow the lawn once a week, and Morna will water the

plants. They're coming over tonight, so we can show them everything then.

Judy: You've told them about the cats?

Roy: They'll give them their meal every day, starting tomorrow, but apart from

that they'll leave them to themselves.

Judy: We are lucky to have them as neighbours. They're such nice people, and

always ready to help ...

Roy: And reliable!

Judy: Yes, absolutely. And fond of animals. All the same, I'm glad they won't

have to take Shep this time. Of course, he's already noticed that we're going

away. He's following me like a shadow.

Roy: I wouldn't want to leave him behind again. He gets so depressed, thinks

we've gone for good.

Judy: He'll be happy this time. He loves travelling by car... That reminds me -

you've had the car serviced, haven't you?

Roy: Oh yes. They've checked everything - oil, battery, tyres, brakes, the lot. Of

course, an old car like ours can always break down. But it isn't likely - not

after all the trouble they've taken with it at the garage. - Shall I start putting

the things in?
