Briefly

Friday 18th February

Day 303

Briefly - because I’ve run out of steam tonight......

Rain falling on my sloping attic roof - muffled heavy drops on the tiles.

This morning I have the use of a courtesy car while mine is passing its MOT - like driving a shoe box - I feel small and square inside it.

Two birthday cakes wrapped in foil on the kitchen counter waiting for their cream cheese icing tomorrow - one green flecked with grated courgettes and the other tender orange with carrots - sweet vegetable cakes.

My husband says he knows someone with TC. He means TB. He asks me what it is.

Beginning to feel round and fat again - my slow winter self - heavy as a pear drop squeezed in tight jeans.
