Me: It’s a beautiful morning. I’m going to miss this view so much.
Nell: Devon is a beautiful county, there will be other lovely views.
Me: Yes, there will. Especially if we manage to get the little cottage in the middle of nowhere.
Nell: I shall be glad when I can uncross my paws. Waiting to hear if we’ve got that cottage is tiring me out.
Me: It’s not doing me any favours, Nell.
Nell: Harriet is worried, by the way.
Me: There’s no point. What will be will be. The owners are just taking their time deciding.
Nell: Not about buying the cottage. About you and Kev.
Me: We’ll be alright, Nell. The waiting is stressful, but we haven’t lost hope.
Nell: No. Rumour has it that you and Kev are getting Covid today.
Me: That’s nonsense. We’re going to get our flu and Covid vaccinations this lunchtime.
Nell: Well, that’s a relief. I wondered how you could know the exact day you would catch it.
Me: Who told you?
Nell: Mothew. He heard you and Kev discussing it.
Me: He should stop being so nosey and if he is going to be nosey, he should listen more carefully.
Nell: I’ll tell him.
Me: You’d best tell Harriet, too. I don’t want her to worry.
Nell: I will.
Me: I was thinking about the animation.
Nell: And?
Me: And how wonderful it is that we will all be immortalised in it. This house, those views, will always be there.
Nell: The house and views are going to be there whether we are or not.
Me: You’re right, but it’s still lovely to think that we will always be enjoying them. Even if only on film.
Nell: Yes, it is. Enough chit chat. I can smell bacon.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
