Isolation
I honestly though that life couldn’t get any weirder.
But it has.
I suddenly find I am in solitary confinement and it is strange. The only sound at the moment is a thrush singing loudly just outside the door. There is no background sound of Herself’s radio [I am currently missing Joe Duffy so there is a silver lining to every cloud] nor any comments from Herself.
My sole contact with the world is through my phone now and am getting very proficient at texting. I got one text from Neighbour who was very concerned about Cat who had changed colour. I had to explain that Daughter was here the other night and had added dye to Granddaughter the Elder’s hair. While she was at it she gave Cat a bit of colouring too. It was Cat’s fault for being too nosey. So Cat is now Punk with a lovely pink streak down her back.
There is no word on when Herself might be coming home. Now that they have their claws in her they are treating her as if she were a plague carrier. They have sent off samples to be tested and we have to wait for results. God knows when that will be. Apparently she is giving them hell in there and is refusing to eat. I told them that was all normal.
So here I am in solitary isolation. I’m not even allowed to leave the house.
Which reminds me…..
I have to go down to the village now for milk and baccy…….
Curiosity gave the cat a pink stripe doesn't quite roll off the tongue like curiosity killed the cat now does it? And I'm glad Herself is giving the medicos what-for and and all. I'd expect no less from her. Also, I'm concerned that you're so isolated considering the circumstances but you obviously have the right attitude about it.
Carry on, my friend. Carry on.
Turn yer beard pink or just do a pink stripe at ninety degrees to the new pipe. Herself is a smoker (if I've been paying attention, 50-50 on that) & smoking is the cause of everything so they'll her shipped back to the manor PDQ as she is too toxic to hang on too for long.
Has Herself no smartphone? You could see each other over WhatsApp oder Skype or something like that? I found that one can get used to it and that it's better than not seeing others at all … at least one can smile and wave 😉
