You are going away to travel for the summer. A friend will be looking after your house while you are away. v. 5
I trust you are doing splendidly and enjoying the season. Thank you very much for agreeing to house-sit for me while I will be in Ireland to see my sister this summer. If you need to reach me for any reason, please ring my mobile phone. I trust you already have my number. Alternatively, you can find it on a sticky note placed on the land phone table. I will stay with my sister in Limerick city in Ireland and would return on 24th October. It was a relief when you agreed to house-sit for me. I owe you a big one! My dog needs to be fed thrice a day - morning, noon and evening. Please put dog food in his dish at the proper time. You will find the food containers in the kitchen pantry. Also, please check throughout the day to make sure he has fresh water. You can take him outside in the evening if you like. He is very friendly and does not bark at night. I would like you to close the doors and windows in the evening and check the mailbox every other day. If someone asks about me, please inform that I am away and could be reached on my mobile phone. Finally, water my plant every evening. The indoor cactus plants need water only when the soil is dry. Keep the outside lights on at night. I look forward to seeing you on my return. Warm wishes, Elsa
