 The 'phone rang early, heard it and ignored it. The birthday party last night was unexpected, and the gift of a night out was unexpected too. And the return home was properly late as well.

Get up a while later, go downstairs and make breakfast. After reading the news about Putin's troops terrorising the Ukrainian civilian population by randomly bombing them sit down and think for a while. The behaviour of the Russian forces is unreal in its brutality.

Start to ring back the assesor who had made contact that morning. He sounds a friendly man, and then -  why not? It is his livelihood. Write him a short message with the email address and receive a list of requests in return.  Now all is well and the matter is completely in the hands of the lawyer and his assistants.

Wander about the town, have a cup of coffee at the Italian pizza place, then walk back home.

Search the web for a new second hand car, in case the old one is so badly damaged that it needs to be replaced.

It would be a good idea to wait for the money before buying a replacement.
