Me: Good morning.
Nell: Could you keep your voice down, please? Some of us are still trying to sleep.
Me: Were you watching the election results, too?
Nell: Nothing much to watch.
Me: Yes, there was.
Nell: It was a landslide.
Me: I know.
Nell: Henry and Horst got all the votes.
Me: All of them?
Nell: Yes.
Me: Every single one?
Nell: Yes.
Me: How did they manage that?
Nell: Nobody else was on the ballot sheet.
Me: What?
Nell: They were unopposed.
Me: That’s not an election.
Nell: Yes, it is. Everyone got to vote.
Me: Why are you both so tired?
Nell: It’s Friday and it’s raining.
Me: It is rather horrid weather. I hope the people seeing our house today will still like it.
Nell: It’s not raining inside.
Me: I know, but the views here are spectacular and you can’t see anything out there but a foggy mist.
Nell: It is what it is. There’s nothing we can do about it.
Me: Did you know Chris and Shannon flew from Toronto to Iceland last night?
Nell: I did. They were only in Iceland for a few hours. They’re on their way to Helsinki now. They’ve got a Finnish wedding to attend tomorrow.
Me: Yes, they have. I know why you and Dave are tired and it’s got nothing to do with the election, or the weather.
Nell: I never said it had.
Me: You were tracking Chris’s flight, weren’t you?
Nell: I might have been.
Me: I knew it.
Nell: It takes one to know one.
Me: What’s that supposed to mean?
Nell: They should be landing in Helsinki around 2pm local time.
Me: Right.
Nell: Which is 12pm our time, so not much longer for you to keep tracking them, too.
Me: No. Sorry.
