I completely overslept but being a Saturday l allowed myself to stay in bed just a while longer. I got up after 10.00 and sorted out my breakfast which I took into the sitting room. I was just about to eat when my mobile rang. It was my son and I had been hoping he’d phone for quite some time so l was happy to talk for quite a while. Eventually my landline started ringing so l answered it to one of my sisters who l haven’t spoken to for quite a while neither. It was quite a time later when I realised it was getting late and my curtains were still closed and my light on, my coffee was getting cold and I still hadn’t touched my breakfast. Finally I said goodbye and started my day.
