INTVEE lives with her husband in a ground floor flat in a small tenement block of six flats surrounded by semi-detached houses which INTVER thinks are mainly privately owned. They have no family and have lived in their house for 20 years. She was born in Leith and her husband was born in Ireland. Her husband was made to retire at 65yrs but would have liked to have stayed on. He felt embarrassed at being an able bodied man out in the street during the day. INTVEE had not worked since she married and believes a woman's place is in the home. She has an ancient washing machine with a mechanical agitator turned by hand. Her husband is responsible for bringing in the coal, making fires in the morning and cleaning the grate. He also cleans the windows. In the last year she has started getting her groceries delivered. Her husband goes to a welfare club in Granton on Monday afternoons but as this is wash day INTVEE goes to a different club which meets at Wardie School every second Wednesday. It had taken them at least 6 months to settle when they moved from Leith.
