I am just catching up on your summer, and I was so very pleased to see this note. I hope you continue to update us occasionally. My mama died this summer and I have spent the last several months caring for her around the clock and in my sheer exhaustion, haven’t read anything since your arrival to the UK at the beginning of summer so this felt like a balm this morning. Thank you.

I’m so sorry about your mom. I took care of my mom until the end, and then my dad. My mom passed at the end of ‘21, my dad about a year ago. It’s a sad, strange, untethered time, or at least it was for me. I hope you’re okay. Sending you my deepest condolences. The first year is the hardest 🤍

I laughed out loud at 'merely a man lowering himself into the water in an alligatorish way.' Thank you.

Aligatorish, and parties I'm about to not enjoy. You bring me back to myself. Happy writing (or not) into the cool.

Threads is the way! It's a lovely platform. The coolest thing about it is that everyone has pinkie-sworn that we will all block the bots and the bad folks. Also, when you block somone, you can also HIDE what they just posted, and it's hidden from god and everybody. It's a pretty upbeat place, lots of writers have moved there.

I’m happy to talk to people when I want to - and sometimes I really want to - but when I don’t, I really don’t. I loved this a lot, hope you had a peaceful swim.
