Mum made me laugh today. She knocked on my door and as I opened it she stood looking at me in a cloth face mask with sparkly studs across the top. I told her I thought it look brilliant and she should sell them on eBay straight away. Family is another thing that’s getting me through this. The cups of tea that appear outside my bedroom door, the shouts-up to see if I’m alright. I think of all the people in my situation who live alone and I shudder to think how they manage, relying on overstretched councils and the goodwill of volunteers for help.
