Monday. Had quite a good weekend. Finished my report last Friday – research wasn’t very interesting, though. I’d been very busy for three weeks since that accident, so it was good to get away to Wales and go climbing. Love it. Needs calmness and strength.
Monday was strange though. Finished work at lunchtime – seeing client again in 10 days’ – then went to Brentwood. Didn’t phone beforehand, didn’t know what to say over the phone. Found the house, saw lights on and went to the door. Knocked, and the lights went off! I’m sure I heard sounds, but no one answered, so decided to go for a drink somewhere and try again later. Went back about 9 pm and met her outside her house. She didn’t look surprised to see me, even though she didn’t know me. I told her I had a message for her from her husband. We went inside. Then – weird! – someone shouted ‘Linda? You home?’ And I saw a man in the hall, but he disappeared into a back room. The woman said he was a friend. Strange. He called her Linda, not Julie! Anyway, we had tea and she told me she’d been happily married and her husband must’ve been confused about the name. I left.
At home, had a shower and went to bed. Woke up in the middle of the night, thinking about the mystery – and it is a mystery. Something isn’t right. Imagine, on Wednesday morning, I picked up the paper and saw an ad with a photo of the guy in the accident and the name and phone number of his wife, who’s looking for him. A different wife! And a different name for the guy! This wife is called Julie...
