Ep. 9: Unexpected Visitors: who's in my bed

Unexpected Visitors: who's in my bed.

Falling asleep in glasses creates some uncomfortable evenings, but that's not all. Waking with a start, Meredith discovers avocados rolling around under her covers. After ridding Snowball from some unwelcome furry guests, she receives a packet of notes and reflections from her brother and catches up with him over the phone. She recalls a cafe in Idaho she visited once, considers her shaggy appearance, and wonders if she was taking Francis Bacon's advice and making a fool of herself. Later Meredith telephones an old friend and swaps memories accumulated over almost 50 years. Their stories mingle and one remembers what the other has forgotten. Each resilient like the  growth of the seed of a budding, rogue avocado.
