An unexpected package arrives in the hands of a Royal Mail postwoman. She is wearing the uniform of a light blue shirt and navy skirt. She has accessorised with brightly coloured trainers and diamante sunglasses. Her hair is blondish and tied back with a fringe. 'You weren't expecting this?' she asks noting my excitement. I sign the necessary slip and explain that normally they are for somebody else.
I tell her about my resolution. 'Do you have to guess it?' she asks from behind her sunglasses. I tell her that guessing is not part of the rules. 'It's after my aunt', she says revealing the answer, 'Irish'. I thank her for the parcel and she pushes her red trolley onwards.
