Nell: Please don’t say you can’t believe it’s February already.
Me: I’m not going to. January seemed to be an awfully long month this year.
Nell: It always is.
Me: All the rain and snow and storms didn’t help.
Nell: Let’s hope the weather improves.
Me: Yes.
Nell: 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 us?
Nell: Yes, please.
Me: It’s https://buymeacoffee.com/saramartin.
Nell: Well done.
Me: And thank you so much in advance. It honestly makes a difference.
Nell: It does. Thank you.
Me: Have you seen the Puppies?
Nell: They’re under the kitchen table.
Me: Why?
Nell: David was watching ‘Stranger Things’ and it scared the living daylights out of him.
Me: I told him not to do that.
Nell: We all did. There are enough monsters around in the real world without watching more.
Me: I agree.
Nell: Harriet has calmed him down and he says he might manage a roast dinner later.
Me: Well, that’s a relief.
Nell: He managed two bacon sandwiches so things can’t be that bad.
Me: Darling Big Brave Beautiful Boy.
Nell: Sunday Songs is outside today.
Me: Why?
Nell: The Big Cat Vibe are performing and there’s not a lot of room in the Village Hall for several lions and a tiger.
Me: Not to mention Dave.
Nell: And the llamas need space for their interpretive dance.
Me: Do you think they’re going to want me to join in after my triumph with the tap dancing?
Nell: Triumph?
Me: Only joking. I’m singing, not dancing.
Nell: You are not.
Me: I used to be in the school choir and the operatic society.
Nell: Good grief. It’s February 2026 not the 1970’s.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
