Jo Jackson, Dr. Josephine Jackson, rising 80 and an enthusiastic traveller, is dying, and intends to die with her boots on. At least, that's what she said nearly a week ago. Now she has changed her mind: bed is what she needs, and quickly. Easier said than done: those days and nights of sitting in her wing chair have welded her joints into immobility, but even so she refuses to have any help from outside. Thus, it falls to Iris, her friend of many years, to get her out of the chair and up the stairs to her bedroom. A journey which takes them almost twenty-four hours, aided only by a plank, willpower, cups of tea with toast and honey, and their memories of life together since they met as 10 Poms aboard the SS Himalaya, bound for Australia some forty years ago.
