Evening. My 12yo daughter N and I do our things in the living room. She watches baking videos, I read PG Wodehouse; I've picked up the Mulliner stories.

Every once in a while I make her stop her video and read to her one of the passages from the book. She understands Wodehouse. She understands most things.

The dog is curled up in his den, unperturbed by our banter. We have no agenda. Not the dog, not N, not I. Just being with each other.
