Yippee! Back came … how lovely to hear from you, the telepathy is working yet again as I've been yearning for some ice cream and I thought about getting in touch with you as I don't like how this Covid-19 is destroying relationships … we are so scared to be near or talk to our friends … yes please that will put a smile on our faces. Thank you so much.”
It's Sunday and the weather isn't looking good. I replied, we are walking up to you to deliver before it snows so see you soon!
We set off, clutching a bag of ice cream. It's a 15 minute walk – ish, 2 minutes after leaving the house it began to snow, the sort of snow that looks like icing sugar. We stuck to the main roads since it was now snowing hard - as if it meant it! Hurray, ice cream delivered - a five minute distanced chat and we set off on our return journey.
The return journey was exciting, now slippy underfoot – we were glad to get home, just in time, here's why :
it didn't take long!
Rose loved it!
Phew – a few minutes longer and we'd have needed a sledge – Rose is a little small to do a Husky's job but I'm sure she'd have given it a go.
It was great to deliver a treat to my friend albeit distanced and snowy - it felt good to do something nice and raise a smile. It's making the best of a bad job if you get my drift – couldn't resist the snow connection, sorry!
Feedback up next ...
