Me: It might be my imagination but I think the countryside looks a little greener.
Nell: The Weather Guardians haven’t mentioned any rain today, but one can hope.
Me: That part of our walk is always green, of course, it’s the fields that are parched.
Nell: Why is Harriet sitting down?
Me: Is she?
Nell: She never sits down. She’s always on the move.
Me: Maybe she just needed a break?
Nell: I think she’s listening to something, or someone.
Me: Probably the birds. I love listening to the birds, too.
Nell: Were there any Beefies around?
Me: No. They don’t bother with countryside walks.
Nell: Or rooks?
Me: There might have been. It’s difficult to know.
Nell: Use your Merlin app to locate them.
Me: How do you know about that?
Nell: I know about everything.
Me: No, you don’t, or you wouldn’t ask questions.
Nell: Maybe I ask questions to help you realise what you know?
Me: What do you mean?
Nell: Sometimes you know more than you think.
Me: Well, I don’t know if Harriet was listening to anything and I don’t know what she was listening to if she was.
Nell: Well, I’m struggling to listen to you this morning and it’s only Monday.
Me: That’s not very nice.
Nell: How’s Kev?
Me: Very tired but improving, hopefully.
Nell: Is he booking to see the doctor?
Me: Yes.
Nell: Good. I hope you’re going to your aqua class. You missed it last week.
Me: For a very good reason. I was on my way to the hospital with Kev.
Nell: Nobody said it wasn’t a good reason and stop reliving it all. You’ll only get upset again.
Me: You’re right.
Nell: Just concentrate on splashing around in the water. It’s your happy place.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
