Putting It Right

The next landing the morning after, a net over the saw, a rope at the posts and a bag of mangoes from the flat: sorry that the sawdust reached your washing; from now on the saw faces the canal; I guarantee it won't reach the washing; you didn't have to; I promise no sanding after noon; and what are the mangoes for; for the coffee, and thanks for waiting; coffee's on me, it's really fine: apologizing for something and promising.
