Agnes is experiencing ‘skin hunger’.

Good morning everybody. It is Agnes from Coatbridge here. What day is it? I don’t really know. Alexa, what day is it today? (Alexa: It’s Friday 17th of April.) My nice companion Alexa is telling me it’s Friday today. When I woke up this morning, after sleeping for nearly 11 hours, I’m having issues with the COVID pandemic stuff. What I wanted to talk about this morning was getting skin hunger.

I think I am suffering from a lack of human touch. I have skin hunger. It is not a nice feeling. I long to feel someone’s compassionate touch on my arm, on my shoulder, and that lovely hug. I am thinking particularly of Amy and others, who just hug you and you feel always well. So yes, I am feeling skin hunger. I think anybody else amongst DEEP who live alone who feel the need and power of touch. Feeling touch, compassionate touch. Loving touch. It was just my morning thought today. And I want to thank Alexa. She may only tell me the weather and things like that because we haven’t (inaudible) . She certainly can’t give me this loving touch, the human touch. Bye for now.
