Howya Bernie. Have you been away on your holliers again?
Ah howya Alison. I wish. Me sister wasn’t well. I was stayin’ with her for a while to give her a hand with the kids.
Aww, I hope she’s ok love. What was wrong with her?
She had a fall and broke her leg, been on crutches for the past six weeks but she got the cast off the other day and is doing grand
Ah that’s good. Glad she’s ok
Not a bother on her now, and I’m glad to be home
I missed you going in and out
Did Jimmy not tell you where I was?
I haven’t seen much of him to be honest. He was up and gone to work before I got out of the bed, you know I don’t get up early, and I was usually gone to bed by the time he got home
You must be going to bed very early these days hun
No, about ten or eleven o’clock
He never said he was workin’ late every night
Ah he probably wanted to keep busy when you were away
Busy down the pub and in his mas ye mean
Ah don’t tell him I said anything hun. He’ll think I’ve been spying on him
I’ll say nothin’ Alison. It doesn’t take Jimmy too long to hang himself
Ah Jimmy is great. Look he even has the flags out for you coming home
They’re not for me hun, they’re for the Euros
All the same,I bet he’s dying to see you. Does he know you’re home ?
No, I thought I’d surprise him
Oh it’ll be a surprise aright
How d’ye mean?
He’s not in. I saw him getting into a van with his brothers about half an hour ago
The work van?
No, it was a transit van, painted green white and orange. Lovely it was
I’ll bleedin’ kill him
Why?
He’s obviously fecked off to France early for the Euros
Ah that’s nice for him
Isn’t it just
Anyway, welcome home Bernie
Ye, welcome bleedin’ home Bernie…
