Sisters Seen


So distracted was I by my own breathlessness this morning, that I completely failed to give you the big news – our in-garden family get-together happened!
Sophie was here, so were Hannah and Nathan. It was wonderful. Hard not to hug, but sod it – the hugs only last 30 seconds of any visit anyway, so is it such a hardship to not have them?
I’m not sure, but I think we may have broken the rules by having three households together. If so, I apologise to any government bods reading this. I assure you it won’t happen again. I’m an intelligent man but I’m finding it hard to keep up with what’s allowed when, and with whom. We did our best to comply with the rules though. No-one went near anyone else. The visitors brought their own drinks and snacks. Sophie even took a pee in the field next to our house, so she didn’t have to come indoors.
Two hours together and the last three months apart were all-but forgotten.

And my sore throat has subsided as the day has gone on, so I don’t have to panic and hide.
