Morning
Clare made an egg for Hugh so he get to work full of energy. He
worked on a policy paper until 9pm last night, so he needs the energy
boost.
Hugh goes to meeting with all the colleagues from his department
which is about how the cuts will affect them and who will get made
redundant. Another item on the agenda is him presenting an efficient
way to manage migration.
He wants to use the presentation on migration to impress his bosses
that unlike other colleagues who feel guilty about proposing a stricter
policy on migration because of the effect it will have on human
beings, he wants to show that he doesn't let his heart dictate his
thoughts and focuses instead on the most cost effective way to
manage this issue.
Feels scared, but is relieved that he wasn't the one who got the sack.
He is sad that others got laid off, but doesn't have time to dwell on
this too much as he needs to think about his career.

Lunch
Hugh and Clare need to meet each other for lunch which they do
everyday at 12.30 at the same restaurant. Clare needs to convince
Hugh to come with her and her best friend and her husband to a new
musical which is a critical success. Hugh needs to avoid lunch lasting
too long as he doesn't want to be seen as taking advantage.
Clare asks Hugh if he wants to come to the musical, but he tells her
that they need to save up for a house in a more civilised area so they
can't be spending money on frivolous experiences.
Clare wants to relax and meet other people as she has been with
Hugh since starting at university and sometimes feels the need to
have a change of scene. Hugh wants to wait until they're settled with
a house, a stable job and children, before spending money on
enjoying themselves.
As she was excited about the musical and now Hugh won't come, she
calls her mum to ask her what she would doin her place - go with the
other couple or stay in with Hugh.
