19th November, 2020.
Right, it’s official the case: I’m expecting deliveries, today.
A couple of bits courtesy of Amazon: or, at least, the Office of National Statistics.
I volunteer for their Covid 19 testing program: and get an Amazon voucher, as a thank you.
So, those are due, today …
I’m also expecting a laptop.
I’m due to start a computer literacy course, next week, have the assessment, tomorrow …
So my landlords are loaning me a Windows based laptop: it’s due, today.
I also know I’ve got to put up some medication, today.
I just hope I can get to town and, in time!

You’ll remember an old friend, Phil, died a few days ago … ?
I sent his widow a condolence card.
You have to, don’t you? My sadness was nowhere near his immediate family’s … but needed expressing.
As did my sympathies: and the usual offers of help one makes at these times.
It has to be said, she sent a reply, bless her.
Not something I was expecting, to be honest: but nice to get.
Nice … and heartbreaking.
It was possibly the saddest thing I think I’ve read in years.
But also the happiest.
Phil, it seems, had a good, full and happy life: even if it was drastically shortened.
What can I say, bar that?
