Dear Ana, Thank you again for agreeing to be my house sitter. I am so excited about my holiday in California and I really appreciate that you are making it stress-free by staying at my place in the meantime. I’ve been thinking about where to hide the keys and decided that the garden shed was the best place. If you go around the house you will see it on the left. The door will be unlocked and you will find a spare set of keys wrapped in a plastic bag inside an empty flower pot. May I ask you to do two little things for me? Could you please water my orchids twice a week to keep the soil slightly moist?

Also

, I’m expecting a letter with details of my Covid vaccination appointment. Would you mind opening any correspondence from the health service and sending me a picture of the letter when it arrives?

Lastly

, I am coming back on Friday, the 16th of July. The plane lands at 8.45 pm; I will take an Uber from the airport and will probably arrive around 11 pm. In any case, don’t wait up for me as I can let myself in with my set of keys. Please feel at home and enjoy your time in London. I look forward to seeing you when I’m back. Warm regards, Lucia
