My daughter and granddaughter were here earlier - all of us exercising social distancing - air hugs
and blowing hand kisses.
As usual
'Katie-the-animal-daft-grandchild-more-like-grannie-than-mum' (13 tomorrow) was petting the dogs.
After they went I wiped all the surfaces they'd touched - chairs, doorhandles, coat hook etc, then went on to wipe the dogs.
Their body language was hilarious - you'd have thought i was going to kill them.
Squealing like babies about to get a jab,
rolling on their backs in submission, legs in the air
, tummies exposed waiting for the lethal dagger
, ears back and down, backing away from me
- ME?
?? - the hand that feeds them and cuddles them when they don't feel 100%
I feel so unwwanted
