Right, I’m Going In..

I arm myself with the necessary equipment.
Puffed down body warmer
Long warm cashmere fingerless gloves
Rubber gloves
Reading glasses
Spare sealable freezer bags
A biggish box to hold temporarily removed items.

Somewhere in this bottomless chest freezer in the outside shed is a joint of beef bought at Christmas for possible family visits. Well that isn’t going to happen, is it, and it needs eating up.
Right, I’m going in...
I may be some time..


I catch myself, too often, paying attention to my own breathing, in, and out.
