Fast going slowly

It’s Monday, it’s Yom Kippur, and I’m fasting. I’m dressed for the day but lying in bed with my tummy making funny grumbling noises. ‘Cathy’ is on the telly trying to keep calm as she explains the concept of past/present/future tense to a call-in student who is writing her Matric paper in a few weeks. The student has no clue. She doesn’t even know what the subject is in the sentence ‘I am Janet’. I feel a headache coming on…
