Me: It’s such a relief to see Harriet back to her usual self.
Nell: It was definitely something she ate.
Me: I know and, without going into any details, let’s just say it’s out now.
Nell: Mistakes can happen.
Me: I remember when you swallowed a stone.
Nell: So do I.
Me: Why did you do that?
Nell: It wasn’t on purpose.
Me: The main thing is that Harriet is absolutely fine again and enjoying being back on the beach.
Nell: How she can run into that cold sea is quite beyond me.
Me: I agree, but it makes her happy and it makes me happy to see her having fun.
Nell: We all enjoy the beach. I do my best thinking there.
Me: Kev and I are the same. There’s something magical about it whatever the weather.
Nell: You can tell winter is on its way.
Me: Yes. The wind was biting.
Nell: I’m a little tired today.
Me: So am I. We might need an easy day.
Nell: You were supposed to be having an easy day yesterday but instead of that you dashed off to the gym.
Me: I didn’t dash off. I went to my aqua fitness class.
Nell: I’m not leaving the fireside today. I’ve started re-reading ‘Great Expectations’.
Me: That was my mother’s favourite book.
Nell: You can’t beat Dickens. Especially during the colder months of the year.
Me: Kev loves ‘A Christmas Carol’.
Nell: Have you seen my reading glasses? I can’t find them anywhere.
Me: Aren’t they in your handbag?
Nell: I can’t find that either.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: Don’t tell me David is up to his old tricks again?
Me: He was wearing glasses the last time I saw him.
Nell: And carrying a handbag?
Me: I’m afraid so. Sorry.
