Me: I can’t believe it’s the first of September.
Nell: Well, it is.
Me: I must confess I had a little cry when Charlotte sent me these photos and I saw your darling faces.
Nell: I thought you might do. We had a lovely walk by the river.
Me: I can see that. I’m just missing you all. It’s been quite a long time since I saw you.
Nell: Kev says this is the longest time you’ve been apart since you first met.
Me: I suppose it is.
Nell: Nigel misbehaved as usual.
Me: Oh no. What did he do?
Nell: Rolled in fox poo a few minutes after getting out of the car.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: It was tomato ketchup and a bath for him when he got home. Now, it’s the first of the month so you know what you need to do.
Me: Share the link to the website where people can support my writing with a cup of Earl Grey.
Nell: Exactly. You post a new conversation every single day. Even when you’re jet lagged or half way across the world at your son’s wedding.
Me: It’s https://buymeacoffee.com/saramartin. And thank you so much in advance.
Nell: Well done. What are your plans today?
Me: I’m not sure. We may go to the lake for a swim if the weather is nice.
Nell: Did you sleep any better?
Me: I was awake for a couple of hours in the night but I read my book and did some writing so it was fine.
Nell: Take it easy, please.
Me: I will. Don’t worry about me.
Nell: Easier said than done, as you well know.
Me: I do. I’m a dreadful worrier.
Nell: We’re all doing well. You can see that from the photos.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
