Good People

Yesterday I went for that lonely drive in the countryside. I needed to stay out of my flat for as long as possible so popped in to an army surplus place on the way home. I’d only met Pierre once before just before lockdown and he asked how I’d been. I told him straight out what had happened and he told me that whenever I’m feeling bad to come over, grab a coffee and a seat or help out in the shop or tinker in the workshop. A lovely gesture that meant a great deal to me. I stopped at my mums for a few hours and we had another constructive chat. It seems that we can really talk and listen to each other now. Eventually I had to return home. The weekend evenings are really bad for me. I sit on my sofa and start to think on the what ifs and beat myself up over not talking to her when I should have been telling her incessantly of my growing illness. I was counting the hours until I could take my pills so I could have a few hours respite and decided to check my messages. I have been offered a very small part in a sci fi film!! What a kind gesture from someone I’ve never met in person. It gives me something to look forward to. When I’m allowed to tell you more I’ll plaster it all over my social

media! Two good people in one day has made a huge difference to me. That’s where it’s important to wake up in the morning and think what difference can I make to someone’s day today? How can I make someone feel good? Off to Snetterton with K Today to watch the racing. There’s a few special Alfa Romeos in action so should be a great day. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
