Unexpected Visitors

It happens….

Well, usually, a lot of things happen, often one after another, which is a useful and handy feature of this whole time business. After all, chaos is bound to ensue if everything happens all at once, especially if you are not suitably dressed for it. A bit like getting rather interestingly rude with a lady-friend when some close relatives turn up, inviting themselves round to your place of habitation without a moment’s thought as to what other events you and the aforesaid lady-friend had planned, especially when she is standing there dressed in only a pair of riding boots and holding a melon in what can only be regarded as a rather provocative manner….

I imagine….

Still, there was some boiled ham in the fridge so eventually we could offer them some sandwiches, whilst – of course – making sure we didn’t mention to any of them what we’d planned to do later in the evening with that selfsame boiled ham.

Some people can be funny about things like that.

They all declined the melon though, which does – I feel – say something about our rather un-relaxed attitudes towards anything slightly out of the ordinary in sexual matters in this country, even in this day and age.

Still, I couldn’t help laughing later when the lady-friend and I had said our good-byes to the last of them and they were all still complimenting us on the surprisingly excellent taste of the cucumber.
