My friend Yasmin came round to see me yesterday.

Yesterday I sent a little message to my friend Yasmin on Facebook messenger saying that the pile of papers were nearly reaching to the ceiling! (That was a bit of an exaggeration, but they were getting quite high! ) I didn't even know she'd replied to my message! So, after Home and Away, I went into my bedroom. I was going to film a few little videos to put on YouTube, but before I had chance to, I heard this commotion outside my bedroom door, and my Mum knocked on my door and said I'd got a visitor! It was my friend Yasmin. I came out of my bedroom, and Yasmin was already putting the newspapers into two large bags. After she'd done that she went and fetched a chair out of the dining room to sit on as all the sofas were too cluttered and Yasmin didn't want to take Mum's seat. We had a nice chat. They were talking about their health issues! Then I remembered I'd got a present for Yasmin, which was a keyring with a picture of an elephant on it because it was part of the March of the Elephants merchandise. It even had the words March of the Elephants on it! So I went and fetched that out of my bedroom and gave that to Yasmin. She liked it. I told her I wanted to get her a knitted elephant, but they were all out of stock. I said, Do you watch Strictly? She said she didn't, not usually, but she did the other year when Eddie the Eagle Edwards was on because he's a personal friend of hers! And I said, You know that opera singer, who does that annoying TV advert, and she said, The Go Compare man? and I said, Yeah, that's the one! And I said, He's doing Strictly! She said, He's doing Strictly? and I said, Yeah! And Mum told her about the blind comedian who's doing it too! I said, I haven't shown you my ladybird painting I did yet, have I? I said I'd send her a picture of it on Facebook messenger. Yasmin was about to go home, and I said, I wish I hadn't chosen a white blouse, because I keep getting stuff down it when I'm cooking. And I said I'd got it because a button had come off my other blouse. And Yasmin said she could sow it back on for me now if I liked. And I said, Really? and she said, Yeah. So I said thank you very much, and I went and fetched my blouse and the button and she sowed it on for me! When she was going, I carried one of the bags of newspapers to the car for her and waved her off. I went back into my bedroom and sent Yasmin a picture of the ladybird that I'd painted, and also the picture of Wynne Evans doing Strictly. This afternoon I'm going to the big Tesco again. I don't think Mum's coming with me again today though because she wants to save all her energy for going to the house group tonight. Have you got any plans for today? I hope you are all well. Have a nice day.

@sharonelton I’m reposing at home this afternoon but I’ve managed to throw out a lot of junk from the garage. I came across my swimming goggles in the garage which I’ll need for holiday. And my old street map of Athens. I hope the streets are all still in the same place.

I hope you enjoyed yourself at home. I'm glad you managed to throw a lot of junk out from the garage. I'm glad you managed to come across your swimming goggles. I haven't been swimming in years! I'm sure the streets in Athens are all still in the same place. How old is your map?

Thank you very much. Yes, she came home last Wednesday. (Not this Wednesday just gone but the Wednesday before.) I hope you are enjoying your day despite not having any plans.
