My first phone call today was my dentist. ‘Just to let you know that your appointment is cancelled’. ‘Oh thank you, did I have one imminent?. ‘Yes, 15th May.’ ‘Oh’ I replied, ‘that’s quite a long way off’. ‘Well, it’s just two weeks away’ said the voice. Now, while I had eventually realised the clocks had jumped forward nobody mentioned a whole month 😫 best to ignore confusing people and make coffee. Next call my son, ‘are you ready to log onto BlueJeans?’ A new (to me) video chat line. I’m still not dressed and my pyjamas are not ready for a public performance. ‘Maybe later?’ Thank God for coffee. I also did some aerobics exercise in my pyjamas in the kitchen. You might not believe this but I did some housework. Not a lot but …. I also popped some more plants into pots. Petunias this week. I still have a tray of fuschias but we have to stretch the jobs out, don’t we? I pottered aimlessly for a while, chatting on the phone or to myself and then decided it was time to pick up my paintbrush. I did some watercolour tulips, just a practice but I hope to get serious tomorrow. And my toenails? Well, much like the unattractive bridesmaid, they’re still waiting. Bonne nuit you loners and others 😴💤😴
