Penny and Charlie
have been my constant companions,
sleeping snuggled up
at my feet,
behind my back,
above my head
on my laptop
in fact
anywhere that is
warm
and quiet

Two very robust flies came in,
then promptly
went out
the window

but only after they
had buzzed
around
and around
and around
and around
and around
...
They didn't seem to know
where they were
or
what they were doing

Breakfast, lunch and tea
has been delivered,
religiously,
with a flourish
and a flower
from the garden


Toast and jam,
cheese sandwiches
shepherd's pie,
copious cups of coffee
along with
the odd fairy cake

which i must say
was greatly received


Tablets have been administered,
quite adeptly I would say,
in a professional manner,
with a glass of water,
freshly poured
from the bathroom tap.

It's the thought that counts


There seem to be
only two cobwebs
in here.

One that is tucked into the corner,
the other,
just under the bookcase.
The one just under the bookcase moves with the breeze.
I wonder where it's spider is?

I must remember to wash the windows,
and mow the lawn
and sort that pile of books out
to go back to the library.

I wonder what has happened in the world outside today?
I can hear someone
mowing their lawn.


I can see blue sky and white clouds.
It looks like a lovely day outside.

When I'm better
I'll do the washing,
and hang it out
in the breeze.


I might try and move,
to see if it still hurts..

These covers are so warm

I think it must be an easy life
being a cat.
If there is another life
beyond this,
I'd want to be a cat.

Yes... it hurts to move
Maybe I will just have a nap,
and pretend i'm a cat.
After all
it's only 1:30
in the afternoon.

Plenty of time
to have another nap
and rest
in my bed
🛌
