He rang this morning. Against the rules before 9 am. I wasn\u2019t going to answer the phone, having more important things to do. Unfortunately, my daughter did. I could only whisper to her that I wasn\u2019t in.<\/p>\n
He rang again an hour later. I was still out and he told my daughter he wanted a word with me tomorrow. I certainly have nothing to say to him. Doesn\u2019t he realize he\u2019s making a nuisance of himself?
\nHe once said to me that I probably quite enjoyed having men hooked on me. I told him I most definitely didn\u2019t. How unpleasant to be pulled down by sheer weight. He said with concern \u201cI don\u2019t do that?\u201d. He also told me I had a streak of steel in me. I shall have to prove this now.
\nHe has given presents to all members of my family, except that the piano music for my husband is on loan. He presented my eldest daughter with his old and still very good hifi-set. She was utterly delighted. \u201cYou know why I gave her that,\u201d he said some time after, \u201cto please you. And her, of course. \u201dI was not really interested in his motives. It certainly didn\u2019t please me particularly \u2013 maybe I should have told him.
\nHe gave me a small item of jewellery which I liked and therefore accepted. I had no qualms about accepting it. He also gave me his wife\u2019s second best watch which came in useful because I didn\u2019t have one at the time. However, I think I shall let my husband provide for me and will return these things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
