Cleaning out the closet…Virtually!

Sshhhh! I was having a clear out today and found one of my daughters old diaries. It’s about 25 years old, she must have been about 14 at the time. Makes great reading! Haha. Don’t worry, I asked her first…

It’s day 10 of my isolation, and to be honest it seems to be flying by. I’ve got heaps of time for all the things I wouldn't normally have time for.

I decided to clean the attic today. (Something I’ve been putting off for a long time) when I came across a box containing amongst other things, my daughters old diaries. Well! I mean, come on ! don’t tell me you wouldn’t.

They were about 25 years old (she’s 39 now so surely the same rules don’t apply) I carefully picked up the one with the pink furry cover, unclipped the tiny clasp and opened it. The word’s jumped out at me. “WHY ARE YOU READING MY DIARY?” I closed it quickly. I thought for a moment, before opening it again, it wouldn’t hurt to read just a few pages surely.

Have you heard the saying curiosity killed the cat? well, Satisfaction bought him back…

I flicked through quickly, smiling at the little drawings and love heart’s with the word’s, I love Benjy. Who the hell was Benjy, I don’t remember that one ha-ha. BUT! before you lose faith in me completely, I should tell you that I read no further, placed it back in the box and promptly went to call my daughter. I told her what I'd found. She said that she couldn’t believe I hadn’t read them, (Shhh!) and suggested we both open a bottle of wine, and face time each other while we went through the box together.

Well I cant tell you what a great time we had. The afternoon flew by as we went through old photos, diaries, everything. In fact we spent more time laughing together in each others virtual company than we had in a long time. Bring on isolation day 11…
