Start the day early, hear the doors slamming downstairs. The wife has left early. Try to rest a little more, the alarm will sound at six thirty. Then there are sounds from downstairs again, they are typical of the son.
The alarm sounds on the mobile 'phone. Go downstairs, make breakfast. Take it back upstairs, enjoy it, and read the news. It is nice to see a candidate that can laugh.
Go downstairs, check everything, and leave the house. There is a message on the 'phone, the Argentine is waiting at the post office bank. Take the car to collect him, ignoring a closed street in the process.
The journey down to the small village elapses without anything going wrong, the journey takes about an hour.
The man with the cancer is looking better now, even though he is undergoing chemotherapy. He still needs his oxygen mask, he may never be able to rid himself of it.
Spend time in a local café, and then take a drive through the beautiful countryside to an Indian restaurant. The food there is very good.
Then there are further trips, and further visits. The end of the afternoon is spent in a museum holding old farmhouses, an example of the traditional building in the area. There, the second cup of overpriced coffee is drunk and a long discussion is held about robotics.
If something looks smells and behaves as a human it becomes difficult to tell that it is not human, even though it is definitely not human. But if it satisfies every need that an individual wishes for, is it not then human?
No, it is an artefact
Drive home with the Argentine, he is not too happy about his friend and these strange ideas.
