The Adventures of Fripp

1 Aug - 31 Aug 2020 Met some of my special friends on the beach this morning. We couldn’t hang around because Nix wanted to get home to watch some old aeroplane called a Spitfire fly over. She convinced herself it was going to fly over the town when it’s obvious to anyone with any aeronautical experience like moi, it would fly along the coastline. So she waited in the back garden and where did it fly...over the coastline of course.

We ended up going down the river and I was able to be just a little bit annoying by being about as far away as I could be. We came home and within an hour Nix was bored. All I could hear was, “Oh God I’m bored...” over and over again. She said that I should be grateful that she’s a ‘glass half full’ sort of person because if she was a ‘glass half empty’ sort of person she would be saying she was lonely. To be honest I have no idea what she’s talking about and I do wonder sometimes whether she does. Anyway, she sa...
