have them.  Mine  is  make-belief  because  there’s  only  one  door,  it  doesn’t  have  glass  and  it’s
               actually just a door opening onto the balcony. But, I like the image it conjures up in my deluded
               head. Anyways, I clean all the furniture, so things aren’t so dusty anymore.


               I make another cup of coffee.

               Eventually, I resort to turning on the
               TV. I avoid News channels, and scroll
               looking for something that will cheer
               me up. I discover the MAKEful channel
               and a programme called “Whose Line
               is it Anyway” – This is hilarious – it’s a
               show where four comedians and, some-
               times a very unfortunate special guest,
               are given situations where they have to
               improvise dialogue and props. It’s quite
               funny, sometimes explicit, and generally
               good natured. There are four episodes
               and by the end I’m in a much happier place. I can tell Gilbert enjoyed it too…


               After a couple more hours of TV, lights out at 9.30. Good Friday 2020 is finally, sadly, done and
               dusted.
