I have a loud & enthusiastic dog, so the option of not answering the door doesn't exist for me.
And I've only ever had the one video phonecall, during the lockdown here. Eldest granddaughter had organised me as to how to do it on the dreaded cellphone & so all was going quite well with 2-3 of them one end & me on the other, until one of them asked how I was. "Fine' I said. There was a small silence & then eldest granddaughter said 'Gran - we can SEE you rolling your eyes!'
Bugger.
I'm thankful for a phonecall just before from friend in Welly, very pleased as the wee book I did for her grandaughter & my three great grandkids had arrived, so that's all worked out well.
I'm also thankful that when I braved the rain & went round to send off the Xmas parcels despite really not wanting to, I didn't get too wet, & that it didn't rain when dog & I went for a walk. It may even be clearing up a bit.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
