Right, let's see if we can have 40 quiet minutes while you do your project and I get on with this paperwork.

Do I have to? Henry, we've got six weeks ahead of us. If you don't want to go to Holiday Club like Jack,

I'm not going to have you hanging around all day doing nothing. I thought that's what holidays

before. I said it didn't go on your console later but you need to get cracking with your project.

So I want to see some progress first. I'll go. No, no, you stay there. I'll see who it is.

Please make a start. Oh, hello. All right. I just wondered is Henry doing anything this morning?

Well, is that George? I'm not doing anything special, George. It's just I'm taking

Cure to the skate park and I suddenly thought Henry's in the same year. Maybe he'd like to come too.

Should be fun for them both. Oh, no, we've got plans this morning. No, we haven't. What about your

project? There's six weeks for that. It's not like you and Cure are best mates, are you? What's that

got to do with anything? I don't know. It's just the skate park. Please. Henry. Please, Mom, please.

Almost the last time I got to go out of my mates. You have to look after him, George. Yeah, no sweat.

I mean, really? Not letting that have your sight. Mama. And don't let him talk to anyone.

Strangers. I'm not for. If you were to go, when would you have him back by? I don't know.

Oneish? Well, it would absolutely have to be by one o'clock. Okay. And message me if you're

going to be late for any reason. Don't fuss so much. Seriously, Helen, we'll be fine.

All right, then. You can go. I'll get my shoes. See you in the van. I'd better make sure Cure is

all right. Okay, and thank you, George. It's a kind thought. Don't mention it.

Hi, Tom. Yeah, yeah, fine. What's up?
