I'm done with Labour

two longs don't make a light . . . 🤪

haha yes I agree. put them all in. but judiciously. I think that goes for all words. I cringe at repetition especially outside of dialogue. there's always another word out there, so . . .

that's true. I should add that the characters don't say "so" constantly. so hopefully any reader foolhardy enough to go near my books won't get too annoyed . . .

at the end of the day it's up to you. rules are there to be ignored. broken. so, let's move on. where was I . . ?
chapter 11 . . .

so I’ve got more guts than you. in this case there is no pause when spoken. so no comma. so, tell me about yourself. so, this definitely needs a comma to emphasise the pause. the same can be applied to "oh" at the beginning of a sentence .

glad you like it Eva 😍

somewhere on the journey of mental and physical decline. yikes! gotta fight it. but not today . . .

anyways. started watching Film Club the other day. interested to see how Evie deals with her fear of leaving the house. no spoilers please . . .

retreat. retreat. stay safe. stay warm. stay home. stay close to familiarity. you don't need all those noisy crowds. and you've done all that stuff in the past. but neither do I want to become a recluse. germ phobic. noise cancelling headphone wearer. I'm somewhere in between all this . . .

but then all the things that could possibly go wrong flood my head. delays. cancellations. relief bus journeys. floods. terror attacks. all the things that raise my anxiety levels. that trigger my predictably unpredictable bladder. queuing. needing the toilet. not finding a toilet. pissing myself...

shoulda bought a box of tissues . . .

mask up and carry hand sanitizer. dirty filthy grubby diseased humans are everywhere. but at least the grocery store is helping the planet with their newly installed energy saving chiller cabinets. every little bit helps etc. achoo . . !

do they disinfect the handles I asked. I doubt it she replied. as I left the store I wondered if any studies had been done on the infectiousness of chiller cabinet door handles. I raised my buff to cover my mouth and nose as a sneezing gent headed my way. do as Daisy does I concluded . . .

and old people don't like change. so we are told. not that I'm that old. not yet. I asked her what she thought of the new chiller cabinets. the type that requires a door to be opened to access the food. ew she said. all those germy fingers. yuck. my thoughts entirely . . .
