“Looking forward to seeing you, lovely. Can I bring anything later? xxx” Seb’s message comes through at 1.21pm today as I’m sitting at my desk in my Office. “Balsamic vinegar please,” I say.

“Did he follow you into your bedroom?” Mum says. The fluffy monster was in the house but now he has disappeared, leaving nothing but a thick coating of orange fur all over my black top. “I was just in there for a few seconds,” I say. “Not long enough for a huge person to squeeze […]
“Do you think I have time to look for a charger for my pipe around here,” Seb says as we sit outside a pub, sipping our drinks. “If you’re quick,” I say, sighing inwardly. For once we’ve made it out in time and I’m enjoying a gin and slimline tonic and a rest before the […]

“Hello lovely!” Seb’s message arrives at 12.51pm today. “My Mum has changed her mind about her collection from hospital and my stepdad is going to do it instead. Have to clean my flat as the agents want to show it. Am going to head up to you first thing tomorrow. Buzz you later. xxx” “Woohoo […]
