My introvert soul is exhausted.

A few words with the lady who was behind me at the ATM and a joke shared with the man in the paper shop. Then 15 minutes with the very nice doctor's receptionist who tried to sort out my prescriptions. Hopefully between the pair of us we have made some progress!

Myself. I normally have my 4 youngest grandchildren who are still at school during the half-term so I am kept busy. This week two of them have been in Greece and the other two in Belgium with their respective families. It has been nice to recharge my batteries and have a bit of hush. I'll be glad when they're home though.

Husband, pharmacist, surgeon, check out staff x 2, hairdresser and cat.

Lynne`s carers, 2 this morning and 2 more later. We rarely see anyone else. Oh, a neighbour brought a parcel that had been left on the front step, and I thanked her. Plus I`ve spoken to Billy, our cat, a fair bit.

In person and in order of meeting up, husband, son-in-law, grandson, postman, three random strangers at the bus stop and on the bus, younger daughter, our neighbour. Just brief exchanges for all but the family.
