Which came first?

Because of the story Middleman told me in Lanzarote I had to put the book away before I had this delicious lunch made for me by Mrs Smith.

It was a welcome break in the middle of day two back at the laptop which saw less coughing but more confusion.

I was allowed into the Natterbox later for a socially distant chat with Mrs Smith, with all the windows open. I’ll take whatever I can get.
