A recipe asked for by phone
Lots of chatter today, quick messages and half-finished conversations, and not much of it will be addressed to the part of you that feels things. Answer briskly by day, and save the slow talking for the evening.
Love
If your son or daughter has left home, for university or a flat across town, they may ring wanting the recipe for your shepherd’s pie. Give it slowly, every step, and the bit about the Worcestershire sauce. A request for a recipe is very often homesickness wearing an apron, and twenty minutes on the phone answers both.
Work and money
A reply-all thread about the new parking rota may reach thirty messages by lunch, each a little crosser than the last. Stay out of it. If you have a view, send it to the one person who decides, in two lines, and mute the rest. Your afternoon is worth more than the car park.
Body and mind
Clear one surface tonight, the kitchen table or the shelf in the hall where post goes to be forgotten. A bin bag and a cloth will do it. You will come down tomorrow to one calm square of your home, and a calm square goes further than you would think.
Give the whole recipe, and stay out of the thread
