My Dear Princess and Dear Friends,

Caro and I went on a covid-date today, to get our 2nd jag. I was a little worried about side effects given that I felt like a bag of arseholes after the first one. 

But no, it seems this time I am unaffected.

We actually had a lovely day together. We seem to have settled in to a new way of living lately. Caro starts her work about around 9:30pm and I go to bed shortly afterward. This means that her days are her own, and she is well rested and in excellent spirits the following day.

The toad "work" has a lot to answer for. Reducing it has had a magical effect on Caro. She told me today that she feels like she is "skiving" at the moment. In a weird transition state where she is not quite sure how to fill her time. I expect she will adapt shortly, and fill her days with projects. 

In the meantime, I am happy to let her skive. Mainly because she seems so happy. 

She was in such a lovely mood today and we spent a lot of it arm in arm like we are teenagers again. I bought her these Lamingtons which looked like they were glowering at me from inside their packaging, as if they knew their fate was to end up being eaten with coffee and were not happy about it. 

And in the evening we ordered a curry and watched the revamped, renewed, resprayed "CSI: Vegas" which features a new cast of characters except for Grissom and Sarah who have returned to SOLVE A MYSTERY.

It's okay. It went well with curry. And then we covid-slept away a nice skivey day.
