OYSTERHOOD is reclusiveness or solitude, or an overwhelming desire to stay at home.

I woke up and listened to the radio until I could open my eyes properly, got up, made coffee, read. Mid-morning, I took one of my love’s cats to the vet for her monthly checkup – she was not impressed.

Afterwards, I briefly visited a friend who is in a lot of pain as she has to watch the person she loves most suffer through a horrific loss.

The rest of the day was work. In the evening, I met two fabulous women for drinks at Incognito and we spoke about books, writing and death for four hours.

Be kind. Wear a mask. Support local.
