As this blog is really a diary, the question in the title is bound to arise. So, Scully, yes, and Hi! and I hope football practice went well!

Ellen bought the red car over to get its MOT and came to see me today. It was such a nice visit, and a double surprise, first when she said she was coming over and again two hours later when she arrived and I opened the door having completely forgotten she was coming. The dogs played the way they do, Tarot thinking what fun it was to get Boo to snap at her so she could show how fast she was at getting out of the way, and Boo very happy to oblige with continual grumpiness. We walked in the park and bought fish and chips and a battered sausage. And then,because there is a train strike today I hired a car from the car club and took Ellen to Cosham, where they are not on strike, and on the way El spoke to Scully and he asked Are we in the blog?

It has been a day of contact with other people, from the lady who lives across the road who came out of her house at the same time as me and walked with to the end of the road and whose name I don’t know but who told me this morning she is 89, and feels it sometimes, to Aiden at my dance group with whom I chatted, among other things, about Christians who use ayahuasca. In between there was coffee with Jayne and extensive conversation about painting and writing, a consultation with my sexy Spanish dentist Tatiana, and  Dance of Awareness tonight, where I found I was very tired and expressed the tiredness in dancing without a great deal externally observable movement. Karen was there, and Vicki, and Janine of course, and lots of others.

I think I’m beginning to be a real person and I’m finding ways of expressing that reality. This is a good thing and it makes me happy.
