Me: How can it be November already?
Nell: You say that every year.
Me: Time really seems to fly when you’re older.
Nell: You sound a little brighter.
Me: I slept better last night.
Nell: I’m glad. Nigel seems in good spirits.
Me: He loves being with Dave and Harriet.
Nell: David doesn’t seem too sure.
Me: Dave’s fine. He and Nigel have the occasional disagreement but they get on well.
Nell: If you say so. How was Halloween?
Me: Everyone seems to have had a wonderful time at the Beefy Ball.
Nell: No dramas?
Me: Not as far as I know, but I haven’t really talked to them about it yet.
Nell: They’re all on your bed. Talk to them now.
Me: No, I’m talking to you.
Nell: Actually, before you do anything, share the link to the website where people can support you.
Me: I wish I didn’t have to ask.
Nell: They’re glad to help and they know how much you appreciate it.
Me: I hope they do.
Nell: They do. Just share it.
Me: It’s https://buymeacoffee.com/saramartin. Thank you so much in advance. Your support means a lot.
Nell: I trust you have bacon in the house this week.
Me: We do. Bacon sandwiches for everyone except me. I’m still on the soggy cereal.
Nell: What about the Sunday roast?
Me: I can have some cauliflower cheese and mashed potato.
Nell: Surely a Yorkshire pudding with gravy is possible?
Me: Too crispy, Nell.
Nell: Not if you soak it in the gravy.
Me: You’re right.
Nell: This too will pass.
Me: It will.
Nell: In this case it’s a good thing that time passes quickly when you’re older.
Me: Why?
Nell: You’ll be back to normal sooner.
Me: I’m not sure I was ever normal, Nell. Sorry.
