Me: Don’t look so grumpy.
Nell: Where did you and Kev go early this morning?
Me: We went to the surgery for our 4th Covid booster and flu jabs.
Nell: Why didn’t you tell me about it before?
Me: I thought you might worry.
Nell: I’m not sure you should be having needles stuck in you when you’re still recovering from the operation.
Me: It was fine. It didn’t hurt at all.
Nell: Then I’m very glad you’ve had it done.
Me: So are we.
Nell: The last thing you need at the moment is to get the flu or Covid again.
Me: I agree. How was your stroll along the quay with Knitwear Wolf yesterday?
Nell: Lovely. We stopped for a cappuccino and a muffin at Starbarks.
Me: I thought you only drank Earl Grey?
Nell: I can be adventurous.
Me: Myfanwy came looking for Rupert while you were out.
Nell: Did she?
Me: Yes. She seemed a bit out of sorts.
Nell: She would be.
Me: Why would she be? What are you not telling me?
Nell: Let’s just say certain things have come to light from Myfanwy’s past.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: She’s not who she thought she was.
Me: Why can’t you tell me what’s going on, Nell?
Nell: It is not my story to tell.
Me: I’m sure Myfanwy wouldn’t mind.
Nell: I’m not.
Me: What do you mean she isn’t who she thought she was? What a strange thing to say.
Nell: What do you feel about a French breakfast?
Me: I’m rather partial to a pain au chocolat.
Nell: John Keats was telling me nothing beats a fresh croissant in the morning with some home made jam on the side.
Me: Was he now?
Nell: Stop raising your eyebrows like that.
Me: Sorry.
