He says: ‘Mum, ever since you’ve got that computer you’ve just been living on it.’
I reply: ‘I’m trying to get my book written, I need to work really hard on it, otherwise I will never finish it.’
He asks: ‘What’s this one about?’
I tell him: ‘It’s a memoir…’
He interrupts: ‘Oh, so it’s like your memories?’
I say: ‘Sort of.’
He is perceptive: ‘So it’s about Denis, right?’
I say: ‘Yes, and some other people.’
Eagerly: ‘Me? Am I in it?’
Thinking quickly about how I’m going to answer it: ‘Well, I don’t want to write too much about you and your brother…’
Interrupting (again): ‘Because we’re not memories, right?’

Love it.
Oh, please write some bits about the boys. You’re so good at it.
