Green Lizard Log – Episode 65

(Jack gets good news from Jersey) The next night after dinner Lois took me into the office and sat me down at the computer. “Now Jack, look at that clock up there,” and she pointed to a clock on the wall to the left. “The time on that clock, as you can see, looks like it is wrong. But it is set for Jersey time. … Continue reading Green Lizard Log – Episode 65

Green Lizard Log – Episode 64

(In which Jack gets back to Margany station and begins work and Lois has an idea.) On the day my compulsory isolation finished my daughter came down from the Sunshine Coast and picked me up. The last two weeks was probably the worst of times with nowhere to go and I marvelled how anyone who is in prison, could survive without going completely mad – … Continue reading Green Lizard Log – Episode 64

Green Lizard Log – Episode 63

(In which Jack spend two weeks in Isolation and gets some bad news from Jersey.) Isolation I threw my bags on the floor and slumped down on the bed and I watched television for about half an hour. I knew I was going to go mad, so I rang one of my nephews who lives about ten kilometres north of the hotel to see if … Continue reading Green Lizard Log – Episode 63

Green Lizard Log – Episode 62

(In which Jack and Molly say goodbye and Jack leaves Jersey and goes home to deal with problems there.) Molly just sat and waited for me to begin. I was so frightened that I would have to deal with anger or upset but there was none of that coming. Not just yet. In very simple and clear terms I told her what had happened and … Continue reading Green Lizard Log – Episode 62

Green Lizard Log – Episode 61

(In which Jack gets an important message from home’) William rang me and asked if I wanted to join him for a whisky tomorrow night and I said I thought that he had a good chance if he twisted my arm a little.  I worried a little about his motive. William was not a devious sort of person but I thought it was a little … Continue reading Green Lizard Log – Episode 61

Green Lizard Log – Episode 60

(In which William and Annie spend time making a baby’s room.) The next few weeks went by slowly and pleasantly. The weather in Jersey at this time of the year was so warm and comfortable that I felt little urgency about going home. Back in Australia winter was on the wane but the Coronavirus wasn’t. Down south in Victoria there had been an explosion of … Continue reading Green Lizard Log – Episode 60

Green Lizard Log – Episode 59

(In which Annie tells Jack that she has made peace with herself and with Dieter) As things turned out I saw none of Annie’s family for at least a week. I didn’t learn until quite some time later that the meeting with Dieter had been a success: a qualified success, but a success nonetheless. It was when Molly had a day off work, the girls … Continue reading Green Lizard Log – Episode 59

Green Lizard Log -Episode 58

(In which Annie wants to meet with Dieter.) One evening my phone rang and Annie told me what their plans were. “We would like to let you know that we are going ahead with adopting that little girl. How have you been? I imagine you’re busy looking after Molly’s girls.” Then she said goodbye. There wasn’t a great deal of warmth in her voice but … Continue reading Green Lizard Log -Episode 58

Green Lizard Log – Episode 57

(Jack gets back to some sort of normality. There has been no contact between him and Annie.) Annie was right. I was wrong. I’d made a mistake. I had played a game with her; getting her lost in the desert like I’d been lost ever since I lost Katie. Annie has been lost in her own desert for so long and I relaxed my grip … Continue reading Green Lizard Log – Episode 57

Green Lizard Log – Episode 56

(In which Annie’s bitterness and anger spills out and in directed at Jack.) It was two days later. Vera rang to talk about Annie. She and Annie had not talked since Annie had walked to her room. She had ignored William. Vera had been doing all the cooking and the making of meals. Vera had set the table, as usual for the three of them … Continue reading Green Lizard Log – Episode 56
