So far today I've spoken to my husband, my hairdresser, my daughter and a lady who sells plants to raise money for the Great North Air Ambulance.

Husband
Dog
Birds when feeding them
Roses when deadheading, explaining why
Hydrangea, complimenting it on its buds
A bee on the chives I was deadheading, assuring it I wouldn’t take the flowers still blooming, or the buds.
Later, if not obscured by cloud I will say hello to the moon, as always.

Yes, the men in white coats will arrive soon.

I forgot about Alexa and I had a messenger conversation with my friend.

I spoke to my nephew on the phone but that probably doesnt count.

The only person who Ive spoken to face to face is the gas engineer who came to do the annual check. Usually he is here and gone within 15 minutes. Today he began a discussion on religion. He is Moslem and I am agnostic (sort of) so it was an interesting discussion.

My grandson (adult) . We met up.for coffee and chat.

Several members of our Thursday walking group;
my DD with whom I had lunch;
and the checkout operator at Home Bargains.

Husband, dog, field mowing man.
Daughter3 and her GC in our garden.

I had a lovely male nurse James today, pleasant, chatty, removed my dressings showed them to me and commented how improved my foot was. Bathed it redressed it and ordered me new compression socks talking to me all the time. Then bless him made me a cup of tea asked if there was anything else made sure I was ok and gave me a hug. I haven’t seen anyone else today but this lovely young man will never know how much his visit meant and he took his rubbish with him 🥰
