Me: There’s a lot to be said for Talking Things Through With Someone, isn’t there?

Nell: There’s always a lot to be said when you’re around.

Me: Very funny. I mean Sharing your thoughts and worries.

Nell: I know what you mean and you’re right. Are we talking about anything in particular?

Me: I was watching Dave and Kev yesterday evening. Dave obviously had a lot on his mind and I could see how much talking to Kev about it helped him.

Nell: How could you see that?

Me: He gave a great big sigh and lay down and went to sleep.

Nell: It was probably about that Chocolate Labrador.

Me: Who? Harriet?

Nell: No. Not Harriet. I don’t know what her name is but she lives in the village and she’s obsessed with David. Throws herself at him at every opportunity.

Me: Oh dear.

Nell: Quite.

Me: Talking of obsessions did you see Lionel King and Bobby Socks this morning?

Nell: I did not. Ponies prancing around with lions on their backs is not my cup of tea.

Me: It’s not that different to Gladys and the llamas. She sometimes rides on them.

Nell: Enough. Today is the first of the month and you have things to do.

Me: Sharing the link to the website where people can support my writing with a cup of Earl Grey?

Nell: Yes.

Me: It’s https://buymeacoffee.com/saramartin. Thank you so much in advance. Your support means a lot to us all.

Nell: It really does.

Me: Do you think ponies can cartwheel like llamas?

Nell: It is not something I have ever asked myself.

Me: Probably not. Llamas are bendier with slimmer legs.

Nell: I can’t believe we’re having this conversation.

Me: I’d be lost without our conversations, Nell.

Nell: I know.

Me: Sorry.
