he wanted to get a t-shirt to wear to school saying, 'she's fine thanks'. Now he sits on a bench and looks intently into the butterfly garden.
It's not a case of turfing people out as such, just some are persistent and eventually you say, yes, pop in Tuesday or whatever. I am good at looking tired suddenly though, the head lolls to one side and then you pop up and say, ooh, sorry, drifted off then. People come and say they won't stay long but then they do, unless, when they say, I'll go in a minute, waiting for you to reply, oh, no stay a bit but you say, ok, nice to see you.
I am surprised I have any friends really! I will want to see people more when DH is back working I think. Now I feel contemplative and quiet. My mother is coming after lunch. Thats always interesting.
