Me: December has the most beautiful skies, doesn’t it?
Nell: Yes, it does.
Me: What do you think of my action shots?
Nell: Action?
Me: Of Kev throwing the ball for Harriet?
Nell: It’s not exactly the Fast and the Furious.
Me: No, but there’s stuff going on.
Nell: Stuff going on? What on earth does that mean?
Me: Things are happening.
Nell: Things are always happening. We’re the Martins.
Me: Ain’t that the truth?
Nell: Why are you talking with an American accent?
Me: I have no idea.
Nell: Well, stop. You sound ridiculous.
Me: The sky looks gorgeous, doesn’t it?
Nell: It does.
Me: Mother Nature never ceases to amaze me.
Nell: I’ll tell you who was amazed. David, when he jumped in that puddle.
Me: Yes. It came up to his ears. Poor darling Big Brave Beautiful Boy.
Nell: He climbed out of it very quickly.
Me: How Harriet can run in and out of that freezing sea is beyond me.
Nell: You do realise you say that every time we go to the sea, don’t you?
Me: Say what?
Nell: That Harriet amazes you.
Me: She does.
Nell: Surely, you’ve got slightly used to it after six years?
Me: Not really.
Nell: There’s a huge amount of interest in David’s Christmas broadcast, by the way.
Me: Wonderful. Talking of broadcasts, Kev and I were thinking of sharing the Christmas Special with everyone again,
Nell: The one you recorded in December 2020?
Me: Yes. I was listening to it and I think it’s still relevant today.
Nell; I think it’s an excellent idea and you should do it.
Me: We have new followers who haven’t heard it and I’m sure nobody would mind listening to it again.
Nell: People will be delighted. It’s magical.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
