The look
My wife always looks lovely. She has ‘a look’ she says, and she does. Women of diminutive stature need ‘a look’ because the fashion industry tends not to be structured around their structure. Today she’s buying trousers online, in pink, a colour that’s not navy blue (her colour), that will finish just above her ankles.
I am asked my opinion. She values that, because I tell the truth, despite potential fallout from so doing. Pink? OK! Length? OK! Anything else?
“Why do you need them when we’re in lockdown?”
“Well, I’ve got to look good for the Thursday NHS clapathon!”

I'm sure she'll look a treat.
How effective is this clapping thing? Can it be heard all over England? Or is it just something individuals do to make themselves feel less isolated?

The clapping thing is very loud. Last week there was a posting on the village Facebook page from someone living at the Bury up the hill (where the Queen’s mother lived as a girl and one of her cousins still lives) to congratulate the village as they could hear us way up there. But now, clapping’s for cissies. Wild country boys like me bang saucepans instead! 👩🌾

Truly a drabble of cultural significance. We Do Not Let This Damned Thing Change That Which Is Good In Us.
