We were raised on a farm, he said. Do you mean you and I, I asked? No I mean my sister and I, he replied. We weren't wealthy, but we never lacked anything either. Go on, I said. Dad always wanted his own farm, and after the war he had his chance to buy one. He always thought I would want to take it over. And you didn't want to, I suggested. It was impossible, he said, I couldn't afford it on my wages, even though he sold it for half what it was worth. What was it worth, I asked? It cost him £3,000, or $6,000. It doesn't sound like much to me, I said. That was $150,000 in 1980 money when wages for graphic artists were $6 per hour. What are they now, I asked. Over double that in 2012, he said, nearly $14 per hour. Wow, that's a lot, I said. I think he was trying to impress me. No, it's not so much. Do you know how long it is it would take you to save $250,000 if you saved $7 per hour, or $280 per week, he asked? It would take 1,000 weeks if you saved  $250 per week I replied. You are not so dumb as you make out, he said. Who said I was dumb, I asked? Nobody, as far as I know, he replied. So therefore it would take over 19 years to save the money. For a cash sale, yes it woulld, he said.

Well, anyway, he went on. One day I was up near the top of the farm, standing near the cow shed, on the tanker track, and dad was about 10 metres away from me. What happened, I asked? Well, I looked ober my left shoulder, and in the paddock there was a horse, and it was just starting to, you know, have a leak, so I looked away. And that was it, I asked? no, well, you know, if you have ever seen a stallion take a leak, they have quite a quantity. Of urine, I asked? Yes, exactly, he said, so when I looked back at dad, he was laughing and laughing hysterically, well no more like giggling, but he was almost doubled over in fits. I have never seen him laugh so hard since we went to see "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines". The movie? What was so funny I asked. Well I could't figure it out, I thought it must have been the horse, but he was looking at me. But then I looked down, and his dog was weeing in my gumboot. I still didn't see what was so funny about that, but I suppose you just had to know me and be there to see the funny side. And you still don't see it, I asked? I think it quite a good joke. No, I didn't, he said, it took me years to work it out. I see, I said. How about Strawberries, Cherries and vanilla iceceam with champagne, he asked? Now, I said? No, I mean at Wimbledon, he said. Ok, I said, I'll consider it. Jim suggested it, he said. Who's Jim I asked. Oh, he's just a radio guy, he answered.

How is Sasha these days, he asked, we haven't seen much of him for a while. Oh, he's around, I said.
