Fazzy Days Are Here Again

My Dear Princess and Dear Fellow,

I was not expecting to see anyone today. Fazzy has not been well lately and not often in the office. So it was to my surprise and delight that she came to get me. "Uncle Symon!" she called. 

She calls me that. I think it's because I am "Uncle" to her children but now she says it even when they are not around. Her co-worker Mandra* has  also started calling me "Uncle". It's quite nice.  

I had such fun with her. Despite feeling under the weather** she was on excellent form and so I took her for ice-cream at MacDonalds. She always has the ability to make me laugh and so I spent a very pleasant day with her in the office. We rode the train home together and I hugged her goodbye in Porirua and felt very lucky to have Fazzy in my life.

S.

* Not to be confused with Manda. 

** "I bet it's the PAUSE," said Caro. And as you may remember, she is absolutely right. "Told you," Caro said with relish as she went to open a window and fan herself.
