Nell: What a lovely photo of you and Alice.
Me: Chris sent it over to me and I thought it would be nice to share it with you all.
Nell: Where was it taken?
Me: In Toronto last summer at Chris and Shannon’s wedding. Alice had just given a speech and I’d read a poem I’d written for them.
Nell: You can see in your faces how happy you are and how much they are loved.
Me: Yes, I think you can. There were a lot of happy tears.
Nell: The best kind.
Me: It was such a lovely wedding.
Nell: What are the Puppies doing in that field?
Me: Lounging around in the daisies. They love lying in the cool grass.
Nell: I remember. I can hardly see Harriet.
Me: She likes to hide.
Nell; Now, today is the first of the month so you need to share the link to the website where people can buy you a cup of Earl Grey.
Me: It’s https://buymeacoffee.com/saramartin. Thank you so much in advance for the support. We really appreciate it.
Nell: Yes, we do. Talking of writing, isn’t today Wednesday Writers?
Me: It is. I have a workshop this morning.
Nell: You always enjoy seeing the other writers, don’t you?
Me; I do. Writing is a solitary activity so it’s good to be around others now and again.
Nell: Even if it’s only on the screen.
Me: Do you have screens up there?
Nell: We have everything although I prefer a game of Bridge.
Me: The Cat and Dorothy will be pleased to hear you’re still playing.
Nell: Yes.
Me: Apparently they’re quite a team.
Nell: I beg your pardon?
Me: Don’t begrudge them that, Nell.
Nell: You don’t have teams in Bridge. You have partners.
Me: Of course. Sorry.
