Me: I’ve been doing some thinking.
Nell: Here we go.
Me: I’ve come to some interesting conclusions.
Nell: If you say so.
Me: We are all very different.
Nell: Amazing.
Me: It came to me while we were waiting for you and Kev to come back from your hydrotherapy session with Chloe.
Nell: I’ve lost half a kilo. Mind you there is only so much broccoli an animal can take.
Me: I know what you mean.
Nell; I definitely deserve a scone later.
Me: Is that allowed?
Nell: Treats are allowed as long as one savours each bite.
Me: I’ll join you then.
Nell: I thought you might. So what else did you find out?
Me: Some of us are sun worshippers like Dave and me.
Nell: Always falling asleep on your sun loungers?
Me: Yes, the warmth of the sun helps us to relax. It lifts our mood.
Nell: David needs his mood lifted after all that nonsense with Sally and dancing tigers.
Me: Has he heard from her?
Nell: Sally sent him a text on WoofsApp saying ‘Don’t worry.’
Me: Good. Where was I?
Nell: Bathing in sunlight.
Me: Oh yes. And then there are the sensible ones like Poppy who sit in the shade.
Nell: Poppy doesn’t like to overheat.
Me: They are the cautious careful ones.
Nell: When has Poppy ever been cautious or careful?
Me: And finally there are the undecided like Harriet. They flit between the sun and the shade.
Nell: Harriet isn’t undecided. She’s like me. We enjoy the sun for a while and then we need a little shade.
Me: Maybe.
Nell: What it comes down to is that you and David can’t get enough of the sun. So, fetch your sun hats and put on some sun screen.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
