Christmas 2020: Feed the cat, breakfast, switch on the slow cooker. Talk to family on zoom and phone. Online panto. Bed.
Christmas future: Laughing, hugging, feasting. A blizzard of light and colour. The joy of the pantomime, “He’s behind you! Oh no he isn’t!” Birthdays marked, sweets thrown, songs sung, walking home holding hands, in the between time. Together, no rows.
