    In answer to your question, J is doing fine and has got used to One driving through the drive thru and singing to him and ordering silly things which makes him laugh. One now turns up and he knows so he always states ‘That will be a latte then?’ Before One even opens Ones mouth. Repetitive work is good for dealing with traumatic events and we even pretended to be cars going through the drive through on foot on a day when we never knew what time he finished his shift so we could go down the beach surfing and got a free ice cream out of it because the manager though we were complaining that the ice cream whip that was missing from the order without the topping was an actual order missing so we giggled and then pretended to drive down to the next window in our pretend car and One made fabulous ‘brum, brum’ noises and got a free ice cream and made everyone laugh and then One sang ‘Thank you very much’ in the most beautiful tones going apparently and it made everyone smile. Then we waited and went to the beach for tea.
    He has recovered well so don’t worry. Thank you for asking. Little steps with laughter always helps aid traumatic events recovery and plus he gets a staff discount too which helps Ones support in the gastric region. Nice arse by the way!
