He is a little offside with me at the moment and that makes it difficult to help him. I need to investigate a malfunction in his washing machine, because the retailer tells me that the symptoms seem like the water pump is blocked, and if that is so it wouldn't be covered by the warranty. I need to take the rear panel off and see if something like a sock has lodged in the pump before calling on a warranty repair. I am expecting the cold shoulder when I turn up at his place. Even after all we have done for him a couple of words can sour the relationship.
Some time ago I thought about my relationship with my late father, Arthur Lock.
I miss him when I am working alone
His skills were of a yesteryear.
He’d be interested in today’s
gadgets I know. We were closer
In the latter years and
I yearn for the same for my son and I .
but I fear it is not to be.
I am unsure we will ever be friends
Like I was with my father.
