I have a new house phone. When it rings it plays a jazz tune I love but can’t identify. I like it so much I’ve been ringing myself from handset to handset. And when other people ring me I go into minor rhapsody…
In the whole scheme of things phones that sing happy tunes don’t really matter, but it is I suppose, a teeny tiny step on the road to independance, to the acknowledgement of who I am, what makes me smile and how I will bit by bit make this house my own…
The funny thing is, until now I am really not sure that I knew that that me was being suffocated. That me would never, ever have thrown a jazz singing phone into her shopping trolley at Tesco….
Who know’s what I’ll do next? Have a nice day Housekeepers…
