The football scores on the doors

I call P each week, in theory to check if he needs any shopping but he “admitted” in week 3 or 4 that it’s actually given him the confidence to go out and get his own bits and bobs as he knows now that if he can’t, I’ll get them for him. So ironically, it’s given him back his independence! We still have a great chat at least once a week, this time about local and national football and when it’ll be back, he’s a lifelong local supporter and looking forward to that returning next season. And he now answers any “withheld number” call with a “hello, Mel”!
