[really]

put the kettle on. make yourself a cup of tea.
and one for them too. just the way they like it.
[milk.and.one.sugar.please]
shoes off. feet tucked up under.

empty your head of other stuff:
insurance and petrol and blogging and shoe.fixing and gyms and tyre.changing and tickets and appointments and disappointments and article.writing and stupormarket.shopping and I.wonder.if.she.really.meant.it?

put all of that aside. focus. be there.
[really] listen.
