My father died August 16th after the first lockdown (who ever thought we’d be quantifying lockdowns?) What do I miss about not locking down with a pensioner? CAKE!
This confinement gives me time to sort the house and reconnect with me. Which brings me neatly on to the Zoom Disco…
Last time Mum’s study was stuffed with papers, books, stitching, paints and pictures and Dad shuffled in dragging his sheep’s wool suede slippers across the carpet and had an old man’s boogie into the camera. This time Aunty Fi wore a silver wig, bemused cousin Sam joined with breakfast coffee from Australia and DJ Dave sent me a Chat: “Vanessa Raison, you’re blazin’. “
New screen name? Raving Raison. More tomorrow.
