‘Leo and I bumped into Paul in the cafe last week. We hadn’t seen him for over a year. He walked up to us with a big smile on his face.
‘Been somewhere hot, Paul?’ I asked. We both looked at his badly sunburned face.
He laughed. ‘I just flew back from Botswana last night. I was working for a charity out there for a year. We were helping to build a primary school in a remote village. I’ve had the time of my life! Sitting on a warm beach every evening playing my electric guitar, an ostrich on the barbecue, amazing women … But I tell you, you’ve no idea how good it was to have a really long hot bath and shave off my beard after eleven months.’
Leo looked impressed, but I knew that Paul was exaggerating as usual.
