A quick visit on the way home

Sam: I might pop in on Gran later, I haven't seen her in ages.

Jo: Oh, she'd love that. Are you staying for your tea?

Sam: No, just a quick one. Hang on, let me text her first so she knows I'm coming.

Jo: Good idea. Don't stay too long, we've still got the shop to do.

Sam: I won't. I'll have a cuppa and then crack on with the rest of the errands.

Neighbour at the door

Neighbour: Sorry to pop in unannounced, have you got a sec?

You: Course, come in. Everything alright?

Neighbour: Yeah, fine. I just need to nip to the airport tomorrow and wondered if you'd feed the cat.

You: No bother at all. Leave us a key and I'll sort it.
