Dear Janet \nI hope you're OK. Unfortunately, I'm not. The doctor $\_\_\_\_$ (COME) yesterday. He $\_\_\_\_$ (NOT LIKE) my cough. I $\_\_\_\_$ (LIE) in bed since Tuesday, and I can't stand it anymore. I $\_\_\_\_$ (NEVER BE) ill like this before - don't know what's the matter with me. \nAnd the weather's terrible, too. It $\_\_\_\_$ (RAIN) the whole week and I can't even have a cup of tea in the morning to cheer myself up, because the milkman $\_\_\_\_$ (NOT COME) this morning. Don't know why - I'm pretty sure I $\_\_\_\_$ (PAY) his bill. \nAlice $\_\_\_\_$ (GET) married last week, so now all Mary's kids $\_\_\_\_$ (LEAVE) home. She won't know what to do with herself, will she? \nLucy Millmann is moving to Doncaster next month. Since Fred $\_\_\_\_$ (DIE) of a heart attack she $\_\_\_\_$ (BE) all alone. I'm sorry she's going. We $\_\_\_\_$ (BE) neighbours for over twenty years and she $\_\_\_\_$ (ALWAYS, BE) friendly and helpful to me. \nJessica, my cleaning lady, $\_\_\_\_$ (LEAVE) a few days ago. I'm glad. I $\_\_\_\_$ (NOT TRUST) her since she $\_\_\_\_$ (BREAK) all those plates and $\_\_\_\_$ (SAY) it $\_\_\_\_$ (BE) the cat. \nThe village $\_\_\_\_$ (NOT CHANGE) very much. A new family $\_\_\_\_$ (TAKE) over the grocery store recently. They seem quite nice. I hope they are more efficient than the last shopkeeper. \nSo that's about it. Please write to me when there's something new.
