The greenhouse print
The greenhouse print is ready, you said. I'm on the bicycle round today. I could collect at the side door before six. If you need to meet me, I can write with a time once I know where the last delivery takes me. I'd like to take it to my sister's kitchen tonight.

The blue-window print
Is the blue-window print ready to collect? My bus leaves at five. If you can leave it at the side door, I can hand the collection slip to my neighbour before I go. Otherwise I'll need another day; I can suggest a time once I've checked my lunch break. Please tell me which plan to make.
Jo
