Who’s the boss?


Saturday 29th February 2020

Fester needs a button sewn on his shirt and handed me a crumpled garment and the button.
I asked whether the shirt needed washing after the button is sewn on.
“Well … it’s mucky by your standards and wearable by mine ...  but you’re the boss.”
Hollow laughter.

He’s just had a letter from the NHS which he read in the kitchen.
I heard him laugh.
He’s popped his head around the living room door with
“You’ll remember this for me.  I have an appointment at the Freeman Hospital on 22nd February 2022.  It’s your job to remember that.”
