> Chris and I got home from school yesterday to find my brother Will had arrived unexpectedly.......well, I say 'unexpectedly', we had been expecting him, but not until next Friday, two days before his 21st birthday on the 27th.

> We had put my car away in the garage and entered the house via the pool area door.

> "Fancy a quick swim after that horrible day ?" Chris asked me.

> "Yeah, why not !" a deep voice said from behind me and I felt arms grab me in a bear hug from behind. I was caught unawares and the next thing I knew I was falling into the pool still in the arms of my assailant, who let me go as we hit the water. I surfaced and looked around, and there was Will grinning and treading water a few feet away.

> "What are you doing here ?" I asked "You weren't due to be back for another week ......."

> "Nice to see you too, brother !" Will snorted "What kind of welcome is that after so long !"

> I swam over and we embraced, then I ducked him under and swam to the side before he could get back at me. I hauled myself onto the side and sat down. He did the same.

> "Slight change of plan" Will said "They brought forward the date of my course so I left the ship early, the captain can see to the start of the refit. I'm in Southampton this next week for the course and then three weeks leave at home, rather than the leave and then the course."

> "You've changed your hair, what happened to the beard and pony-tail ?" I asked "Makes you look younger without."

> "My Guy didn't like it !" Will grinned "You have to compromise, don't you ?"

> "What's his name ? Does he work on the ship as well ?" I asked.

> "I just said......." Will grinned "he's Guy, and he's our new ship manager - you know, responsible for all the front of house management for our guests - the Purser on many ships." Will explained "I'll show you a picture. He's Canadian, 25 years old, and - I think - extremely good looking. You'll like him."

> "So you and he are the two most senior people on board apart from the captain ?" I asked.

> "Yes, as first officer and navigator I'm responsible for the operational running of the ship's crew and systems and Guy is responsible for the hospitality, catering and passenger well-being, we both report to the captain." Will said "You'll meet Guy next weekend, he's flying in on Friday afternoon."

> Will got up and put his hand out to give me a hand up as well.

> "We better get into some dry clothes, I guess everyone else will be home soon." Will said.

> "Is no-one else at home then ?" Chris asked.

> "The taxi dropped me off an hour ago, I was just sitting around waiting for someone to get back when I saw you two drive in and thought I'd surprise you." Will said.

> "You did that alright !" I said looking down at my sodden khaki chinos, pale green shirt and wet shoes.

> "Sorry about the wet clothes, I didn't think you'd mind." Will said.

> "You know I don't." I laughed "Where's your stuff ?"

> "My bag's in the shower room." Will replied.

> We got changed. Will into blue jeans and a grey military style shirt and me into my old tan chinos and an orange and yellow check shirt. We were just going through the house and up to Will's room, when mum and aunt Pam came in at the front door, mum did a double take at the sight of Will and then hugged and kissed him before standing back and looking him up and down.

> "You look very well and happy, son, it's so lovely to have you home again." mum said "Good Lord, I haven't got your room ready yet. The bed needs making-up and the room needs a dust ..............."

> "That's OK, I can dust and make beds, you know !" Will grinned "Probably better than you ........."

> "Just 'cause you're nearly 21 doesn't mean you can be cheeky !" mum laughed "You look much better without the beard and long hair, by the way."

> "So everybody keeps telling me........." Will laughed "I thought the beard added gravitas and a certain authority."

> "Poor deluded fool !" I muttered loudly, Will took a friendly swipe at me, but missed.

> It's great to have Will home again, I'm looking forward to a weekend of some wet and muddy fun.
