this constant conversation we have
about life
and I don't want to be there when
you marry
and I won't need to know your
children
there's enough of this living to be
going on and on with
the way we make it happen
the way it is for you not me
so tiring
that's why I want release . . .

so, my characters often say "so" in dialogue. I'm guessing a creative writing course would knock that off the page. but that's the way they talk. so the so-and-sos stay. sometimes I put a comma after the so. sometimes not . . .

I work through travel plans in my head but invariably back out of actually seeing them through. like taking the train to London to see an exhibition. I visualise the process of buying tickets online (no idea). getting to the station. the journey. the hotel. eating out. the museums. even shopping . .
my final dream of the night played out like a metaphor for my life. after weaving in and out of traffic and negotiating a wobbly plank across a river I could finally see my destination through a thicket of trees. however it was at this point that I chose to turn back . . .

Daisy at the checkout wearing her face mask today. immunosuppressed or neurotic. or maybe she doesn't want to infect her customers. she asked me if I was able to find everything I needed. you might recall the grocery store is having a refit. not sure I like the changes but hey I'm getting old . . .

the grocery store refit was in full swing today but Daisy at the checkout was nowhere to be seen. in her place a young lad was learning the ropes but a single loose orange flummoxed him and sent him scurrying off for assistance. not sure he was supposed to abandon his till mid service but hey-ho . .
Daisy at the checkout asked if I found everything I wanted. fyi the grocery store is in the midst of a refit. I said I was looking for a bottle of kindred spirit but could only find Kahlúa. did you try the festive aisle she said. no I don't go there I replied . . .
