A picnic

Tim
Exeter 78563.

Mary
Tim?
This is Mary.
I hope I haven't woken you up.

Tim
Actually I got up ten minutes ago, but it's only a quarter to nine.
Why are you calling me so early on a Sunday morning?

Mary
Because the sun's shining and there isn't a cloud in the sky, and Alan and I are going for a picnic.
Do you want to come?

Tim
It's true we haven't seen the sun lately, but I expect it'll rain again soon.

Mary
No, it won't.

Tim
Well I've got some work to do, but I suppose I could put it off till tomorrow.
Where are you thinking of going?

Mary
Well, there's lovely spot by the river on the road to Tiverton.
There's a big bend in the road just before you get to Stoke.
You leave your car and walk across a field to the left.
There are some tall elm trees by the river, and that's where we'll be.
It's very easy to find the place.

Tim
Yes, I think I know where you mean.
I'll come, and I might even go for a swim.
Are you taking any food or drink?
It's a pity you didn't mention it yesterday; I don't think there's any beer in the house.

Mary
Don't worry.
We've got some bottles of beer and lemonade and there's half a chicken in the fridge.

Tim
Right then.
See you there in about an hour.
