I’m up, showered and dressed well before eight. I can’t chance the sofa people turning up early and catching me in bed. Of course, I know by being ready so soon that they won’t come until one.

I’ve finished the first coat of paint on my bedroom wall, tidied up and now I’m almost twiddling my thumbs while Shadow paces around impatiently, wanting to go out. Her retractable lead still hasn’t arrived and I hope it comes before I take her out which will be immediately after the new sofa arrives.

I make my lunch and eat it, while keeping a listen out for the door, for evidence of a delivery lorry, for anything.

And, of course, the sofa arrives just before one. They bring it in, position it, unwrap it and ask for my signature in what seems like seconds. Once they’re gone, I sit on it, lie on it, roll around on it. I love it. I imagine how it will be even better in this room once the second sofa arrives. Shadow comes into the lounge and sniffs the air and then the sofa, walking around and around it with a mischievous glint in her eyes. She finally comes to a stop and hovers in front of the seat next to me.

‘No, Shadow,’ I say, my voice as firm as I can make it because I know she’s planning on leaping up here. ‘Not for you. No.’

She tilts her head to one side, turns tail and trots off to the kitchen where I can hear her scrabbling around. I’m about to get up to see what she’s up to when she returns with her tartan lead in her mouth.

‘Clever girl, Shadow.’ I pat her and rub her chin. ‘Clever girl.’ The lead had been on the kitchen worktop, hence the scrabbling. ‘We’d better go then.’ I stand up and hope I’m not going to regret not waiting for the retractable lead.
