Me: How did it get to be the first of November?
Nell: Yesterday was 31st October, so ‘go figure’ as they say.
Me: I know, but time really does fly.
Nell: It seems to nowadays.
Me: Wasn’t Halloween lovely?
Nell: It was.
Me: I think it’s the nicest Halloween I’ve had in a very long while.
Nell: The door bell certainly never stopped ringing.
Me: All those sweet children dressed up in their costumes smiling away. Kev and I absolutely loved it.
Nell: Being part of a village suits you, doesn’t it?
Me: Yes, it really does. We’re very happy to be living here.
Nell: Now, today is 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 by buying us a cup of Earl Grey.
Nell: Exactly, and before you start telling me you don’t like doing this, remember you post a new conversation every single day.
Me: Yes, I do.
Nell: Without fail. Come rain or shine.
Me: Yes. It’s https://buymeacoffee.com/saramartin.
Nell: Good.
Me: Thank you in advance. We really appreciate it.
Nell: Yes, we do. Now, why are you featuring the two boys today?
Me: They’re both so handsome. They brighten a grey November day.
Nell: The sun is actually trying to get through the clouds.
Me: Even better. I’ve been thinking.
Nell: Oh dear.
Me: It’s not long until Christmas.
Nell: Good grief. We’ve only just celebrated Halloween.
Me: I know but I think I should order the turkey.
Nell: Keep your voice down, please. Timothy hasn’t gone on retreat yet.
Me: How is Timothy? I haven’t seen him ages.
Nell: Timothy is a turkey. He prefers not to be seen at this time of year.
Me: Of course. Sorry.
