English

Gundega receives a message from Viktor, saying that her beautiful chair has been restored. She gets ready to go to Daugavpils again. She already feels at home there – especially when she’s staying with Viktor and Ināra.

‘I’m sorry I wasn’t able to finish the chair quicker, Gundega! I strained my back,’ Viktor apologises after dinner.

‘Oh no, your back! But it’s OK. The chair has been restored just at the right time. I’ve recently returned from Poznań, so I would not have been able to come sooner. Did you receive my email?’

‘Yes, we did! Thanks for the suggestion! Ināra and I like it very much,’ Viktor says, and Ināra nods vigorously.

‘I will go to see the doctor about my back, and then we can pick a date.’

‘Do you have access to good back doctors here in Daugavpils?’ asks Gundega.

‘Yes, first of all I will go to the GP here, at Daugavpils hospital. The appointment is scheduled for next week.’

‘Sensible, very sensible,’ Gundega says thoughtfully. ‘I should also make an appointment with my GP for an annual check-up. You shouldn’t put off taking care of your health.’

‘Is there anything serious?’ Ināra asks in a concerned tone.

‘No, just a slight arrhythmia and my vision is getting worse. I will need stronger glasses and a prescription for medicine,’ Gundega says and changes the subject. ‘So how does the chair look now?’ She puts on her glasses and inspects the chair from all sides.
