Me: Can I have a word with you, please?
Nell: What I like about the activity field is that everyone can move at their own pace.
Me: I don’t want to talk about the activity field right now.
Nell: Dave and Harriet can dash around and I can take my time and even sit and ponder if I so wish.
Me: I want to talk about you barking at 5am.
Nell: There’s plenty of room for everyone.
Me: I’m forced out of my warm bed and all you want is attention.
Nell: Kev can think his thoughts as he walks around.
Me: I thought there was something wrong. I was worried about you.
Nell: And because so many dogs use the field the sniffari is quite wonderful.
Me: I know you’re ignoring me on purpose.
Nell: And the lady who runs the field is absolutely delightful.
Me: You’ve never met her.
Nell: No, but you have and you’ve told me she’s very kind.
Me: You were listening to me then, were you?
Nell: I’m always listening.
Me: Not when it’s something you don’t want to hear.
Nell: What’s your opinion on eggless custard?
Me: It’s the taste of my childhood. Why?
Nell: Kev can’t have eggs so Herr Hoffmann is thinking of using it for the trifle.
Me: Good idea.
Nell: I thought so.
Me: I’m posting the link to the Christmas Special later today.
Nell: Good.
Me: I’m hoping to share it across the various groups but if not, it will definitely be on the Conversations with Nell page on Facebook.
Nell: And on your website http://www.conversationswithnell.org.
Me: I always worry about the technical side of these things as it’s an audio file.
Nell: Stop worrying.
Me: Stop barking.
Nell: Let’s just enjoy the Christmas Special.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
