It's been a lazy Saturday, spent mostly in bed, the four of us, two human and two not, cuddling, reading, napping, talking quietly.

I left the bedroom at three and sat by the pool but couldn't find the motivation to actually swim. The dogs flanked me, glad I was on dry land â“ the pool makes them anxious â“ they seem to think it's a giant sloshy monster, devouring their people, then returning them, dripping wet.

I returned to the bedroom at six, napping through the and of some movie I'd seen a thousand times before. At midnight, we might get waffles.
