1. Seb is here. 2. Walked the Keeshond yesterday with MadFatRunner. Had fun. Got a bit lost and were out for 3 hours. 3. He is in attached photo. 4. Lit the Chanukah candles and fed MadFatRunner latkes. 5. Pizza is coming. 6. So is sleep eventually. 7. Mood has gone up a bit so […]
“Rather a lot of parcels have arrived for you,” Dad says. “Oh, good,” I say, looking at the pile of boxes and padded envelopes on the dining room table. “What are all these packages?” Mum says, looking at me with that you’ve-gone-high-again-haven’t-you look. Or as a friend once put it: “Your mother looks terrified: as […]
“You’re early,” my trainer says, smiling, at nine o’clock this morning. “Yes,” I say. “The panther’s gone. Been awake since six thirty nine and…” “I’m just going to put my bag in the office,” she says, tying her long hair up. With her hair down, she could be any pretty girl. Hair up, she’s transformed […]
“Your skin looks terrible,” the panther says. He’s draped over my desk at the office. “It will heal, eventually,” I tell him. “Seb will be appalled when he sees you,” the panther says, fixing me with his amber stare. “You must have put on another half a stone since you last saw him, you’ve got […]
4.15pm and already it’s almost dark outside. Am writing this on my bike at the gym. Didn’t make it here this morning, due to an unusually late night last night with my writing chums. So am here now, despite epic levels of can’t-be-bothered. Know that will be pleased with self, even if just write this […]
Waking up with a start from my afternoon sleep, looking at my watch, I see that it’s 6.32pm. Opening the curtains, I realise that it’s dark outside. “I’m hungry,” the panther says, kneading my tummy with his paws. “You know where the kitchen is,” I tell him. “I’m not eating yet. Have to write the […]
“Where are you?xxx” Seb texts at 7.01pm this evening. “Parentals. In the middle of supper. Call you when am finished,” I fire back. This gives me thirty seven minutes to write a blog, as have finished supper and it’s now 7.23pm. Will call him at eight o’clock. The parentals have gone out, leaving the fluffy […]
“So, what are you doing this evening, my lovely?” Seb says when he calls last night at 7.03pm. “Oh, you know,” I say. “Supper, watch that London Spy thriller from last night and…” “Oh, it’s good,” Seb says. “You’ll like it and…” “Well don’t tell me about it,” I say, chopping some broccoli, putting it […]
“Sending lots of helpful exam-winning thoughts. Hope they go really well xxx,” I text Seb at 9.37am today. “Thanks xxx,” he replies. He had two exams today at 11am and 1pm. It’s now 4.26pm. Surely he is out of there by now… “Exams are fun. You just get in there and show them what you […]
I’m striding down the main road with the panther. We’re going to be late for my course. The bus has dropped us nowhere-near-where-we-need-to-be. Am certain that last time it stopped outside the building. Suddenly, the panther stops and stares into a shop window. Coming to a halt next to him, I see a model panther […]
