Frank - In garden, trampoline. Neighbour Mrs Palmer-Mackin, house 32, only ever said “good morning” and heard the tv. Commotion, she was outside and he had to call her daughter. Daughter and son in law came and packed up 10 months later, today family with kid arrive. His garden unkempt.

Red - New house. Not impressed, didn’t want to move, dad left for ‘tits and teeth’. They were other side of London. House on right flowery, house on left evil. Inside biscuits, moved from Stanhope Gardens to Auntie Steph’s flat for 3 months. Only one friend Noah Conway, big room has mirrors. New school new pals, maybe get bunkbeds for friends to come over, happy then realises Noah has bunk beds. Looks in garden and has trampoline and runs down to play on it.

Frank - Red on trampoline asking questions, Frank ignoring, stranger – beedy-phile. Mum Sarah, nurse for Marcie (Frank’s dead wife) in hospice.

Red - Sarah tells Red that Marcie was sick and died.

Frank - Marcie at window excited by next door, reminds her of Mikey their son. Noise and reminder of St John’s. At the Fairfield Wednesday pub quiz been going there 40 years of birthdays, New Years, parties. Marcie writing scribbles and looks afraid.

Red - Awake at 5am goes to mum’s bed, breakfast, gets post, sees Frank smoking, Mum taking him to park in the afternoon. Red asks about next door if he’d like to come. Thinks he’s a wizard, beard. Miles the Pigeon – nursed, letter delivered to them that was for Frank.

Frank - Red outside, Frank curtain twitching, Marcie appears as different ages from when he knew her, his imagination. Ignores Red at door who ends up posting picture.

Red - Posts picture with no yellow.

Frank - Picture reminded him of St John’s pamphlet. Day after quiz things not ok, Hospital - brain tumour less and less hope with each test. What about Mikey? Frank wants to tell him, Marcie doesn’t want to tell anyone.

Red - Find yellow crayon and puts in pocket, ready for the park, mum has to retie shoelaces, pass Franks without posting letter.

Frank - Trying to find cures and remedies to help Marcie. She gets annoyed and so does he. She doesn’t want to be treated differently. She wants him to tell her a joke. He grabs her coat for her to go to the pub. She relents but doesn’t want to. In pub awkward with friends. She tells them eventually. Frank feels bad as they instantly start talking to fer differently as if she’s fragile and will break. Frank tells a joke about the pope. All laughed – Frank almost forgot his world was ending briefly, 5 months later Marcie died.

Red - Coming back from park four hours later, see Frank with broom trying to knock next door, Mark and Joe – gay couple – usually get him some supplies. Sarah tells him they’re on holiday and asked her to look after the house while they were away. Frank – ‘why not me?’. Red says about them getting him stuff. Sarah not keen as it’ll take ages with Red but Frank finally agrees to look after him while Sarah goes to shop, gives letter first.

Frank - Doesn’t open letter. Mikey found out via Sal who was unaware he didn’t know that his mum was dying. Only 6 weeks left. Didn’t go back to work that day and went straight to see them. Tension between Frank and him after and more so at the wake. Ken speech in The Flea – Frank puts his hand on Mikey’s shoulder, shrugs him off and Frank stumbles into table. Mikey - “you should have told me”, Frank – “promised I wouldn’t, Mikey – “What did you do to help?”, Frank – “fuck you”.

Red - You need a longer stick, finds cane. Hide and seek? Yard too small, I-Spy – gate, lamp post, Frank uninterested.

Frank - Sitting on step with Marcie, taught Mikey I-Spy, took hours. Finally took to now to start playing. Calls Red, Gavin his middle name to annoy him.

Red - Sarah returns with shopping, got Red pokemon cards, picks up dropped wrapper and puts it in the bin where he sees the allosaurus picture he drew for Frank.

Frank - Frank sees Red at bin and feels bad. Red says he’ll draw another. Frank picks it out. Marcie reminds him it’s the 2nd time he’s been to the bin and opened gate, first time in over a year. Doesn’t leave in fear of Marcie disappearing. At pub after she passed, normally doesn’t remember getting home, this time stumbler out, goes to supermarket and asked to leave at self service tills buying drink. Has gin at home. Wakes at 3am gets book about mouse bought it for Marcie – gift after writing his first novel. Letter from Marcie in it, takes sleeping tablets doesn’t care if he wakes up.

Red - Sitting on step waiting to speak to Frank during his morning smoke. Frank talking to himself about smoking. Sees Red and jumps. Red had imaginary dog friend and a pigeon Miles. Not at school as it was a Saturday. Supposed to be with Dad but is working. Back to earlier, Sarah on phone to Jamie (Red’s dad) cancelling today. Red unpacking before his mum told him. Heather (Jamies new girlfriend) and new house, Heather has twin girls. Wasn’t really looking forward to it. Football etc, but sweets and cola and maybe see Noah. Finishes that he was talking to Frank who finished his cigarette and goes inside.

Frank - Wake up to voice in hospital, checking if he tried to kill himself, No. Home Marcie on sofa, Frank panics and thinks he having a breakdown. Homes Under the Hammer loud to hide her voice. 12 hours later.
