Joël is at a loose end now that Roy has been forced to cancel their afternoon. After Roy drops him home he showers then makes himself two cheese toasties (they were supposed to be ham and cheese but the ham looked a bit green...Brutus didn't complain, though) and takes Brutus for a walk along the waterfront, thinks about Bunty and then feels guilty about not keeping in regular touch with his own mother, although he's still angry with her for donating all his stuff to the Church Jumble Sale. He tells himself he’ll ring her tomorrow.
Back at home he thinks he'll have a nap then maybe go The Pony and catch up with Ray, who's always texting him to drop in and say hello. Visiting The Pony sober however demands a certain level of maturity and sangfroid, particularly if Carla is going to be there, and he's not sure if he can be arsed.
He decides to ring Anita.
