Maureen slept for most of Christmas day.  I woke her for meals, and we watched the last episode of Dinner Ladies.  I managed to keep callers at bay, apart from a brief telephone conversation from Maureen’s youngest son.

Just as we were going to sleep we talked briefly about Maureen being uncertain about who I was.  Once in bed her reticence towards me was explicit.  I made it clear it didn’t matter, and it was something that would pass.  Then this morning it came to me: we will dance our way back to closeness.  Maureen will eventually remember me as her dance partner – after all we have Gold Medals for Latin and Ballroom.

As I came round in the morning I thought: I’ve got it – the Rumba one of our favourites.  Then I thought hang on a minute Willie Nelson will do it for us: his version of ‘No Mas Amor’ is just the ticket!
