I think they met through mutual friends, from what I remember. My mum's best friend's brother worked with him, I think. My dad is a butcher, and I think Robert (the brother) met him through that. My mum and Sandy (her best friend) would hang out, and I guess they met a few times. I don't know many of the details from there. Not too sure if it's really relevant now, as they're no longer together and have both moved on.

God knows why. The smell of butcher shops are horrible. When he comes to visit now and then, it's all you can smell on his clothes. He doesn't wear the same clothes, understand, but it's a smell that latches on to you.
