to know our confusion’s past.
For that I’m grateful.

A voice message. I hear the sadness, pain and anguish among the words, the breath, the hesitation and fluctuating voice. It is clear. My heart aches to hear it. There is no way to be there, to wrap arms around, to comfort.
A telephone conversation. I hear the deep breath before confession. I hear what I already thought was so. Apologies are unnecessary. I am grateful for the respect this honesty shows. Thank you for the courage you found to speak. I am relieved to find the story I built around lies can be re-constructed with truths.
A text. I see the angry confusion that comes from frustration; witness the retreat. I recognise the reaction, the wounded withdrawal to safety. This is not my family. It is not for me to intervene. My white charger is out to pasture, but I am here if needed.

A security tag is supposed to be automatically approved and cancelled when scanned at the till.
“If it goes off at the exit, don’t worry. The security guard has gone home already and I know your face anyway.”
Great to know that the art of careless talk survives and no she doesn’t know my face as I always wear a face covering from neck to the bridge of my nose every time I am in the shop.
Coronavirus fatigue is kicking in. The vaccines are being distributed and the people are slackening their guards…and security guards.
Three of the points I raised yesterday are in the national news today:
Meanwhile the UK had the highest recorded death rate in the world per hundred thousand Covid-19 infections.
Don’t even mention Brexit to me, please.
Alexander Johnson suddenly wants us all to be kind and civil when discussing political matters, so we are not like those ‘ghastly colonials’ (he implies).
Perhaps he might help by actually answering some very straight questions with some relevant answers?
I will stop there.
