Me: You’re not wearing your collar.
Nell: I’m outside in the field.
Me: You always wear your collar when you’re out.
Nell: It’s the first of June. Collars don’t need to be worn.
Me: That’s absolute nonsense and you know it.
Nell: Fine. I’m having a Collarless Saturday.
Me: Just don’t go out and about without one.
Nell: The Cat says it’s a lovely photo.
Me: It is.
Nell: The Cat says it’s an atmospheric shot of a dog in the grass.
Me: I took some atmospheric shots of the family down at the lake yesterday evening.
Nell: I can see.
Me: The weather was so lovely we all decided to go for a walk after dinner.
Nell: Even the bear?
Me: Herr Hoffmann isn’t back yet.
Nell: What? You realise there are only two sleeps to go before you come home?
Me: I’m sure he’ll be back today.
Nell: If he isn’t, you’re going to have to go and find him.
Me: Yes, I will.
Nell: Now, it’s the first of the month, so another thing you need to do is share the link so people can support your writing.
Me: I suppose so.
Nell: There’s no suppose about it. You write a conversation every day and this makes a lot of people very happy.
Me: The link is: buymeacoffee.com/saramartin
Nell: There you are. That wasn’t difficult.
Me: No. Do you know what I’m doing now?
Nell: Writing?
Me: Yes, and Jonathan Sky is sitting next to me reading ‘Conversations with Nell’.
Nell: That’s lovely.
Me: Yes, it is.
Nell: I’m usually sitting next to you.
Me: I know and you will be again very soon.
Nell: Is Jonathan still there?
Me: Yes, and now Fayely is, too.
Nell: You’re going to miss them, aren’t you?
Me: Yes. Sorry.
