Nell: Is that Dog and Dash?
Me: Yes.
Nell: I’ve never seen the activity field look this dry.
Me: Neither have I. Everywhere is like this at the moment, Nell.
Nell: Not for too long, I hope. The Weather Guardians tell me rain is on its way.
Me: We had some yesterday which was wonderful.
Nell: What’s Kev doing walking around? He’s supposed to be resting.
Me: He wanted to come with us and he sat down for most of the time.
Nell: In my Semicircle of Power?
Me: Yes.
Nell: Without a password?
Me: I thought you wouldn’t mind.
Nell: I’m glad to see Harriet sat outside it like a good animal.
Me: Dave was on the move all the time. Dry grass or not, it is still a chance for him to run and stretch his legs.
Nell: Yes, it has been a haven over the years.
Me: It certainly has, and Annette who runs it lives in our village.
Nell: How lovely.
Me: She was very kind when Kev was taken ill.
Nell: People are if you allow them to be.
Me: You’re right.
Nell: How is Kev today?
Me: I’m not sure. He’s still sleeping.
Nell: Then let him be. It’s still early.
Me: The hospital will be calling some time soon with his appointment for tomorrow.
Nell: Let’s hope it will be the last time you have to drive there for a while.
Me: Fingers crossed.
Nell: And paws.
Me: Did you know they say thumbs pressed in Germany?
Nell: I did not.
Me: And I always do it.
Nell: Whatever helps.
Me: Exactly.
Nell: How did you sleep?
Me: Not very well, there’s too much going on in my head.
Nell: There’s always too much going on in your head.
Me: I know. Sorry.
