It’s been a funny old week all in all. My hotel stay in London included an unusual surprise at around midnight, which kept me amazed, puzzled and entertained for ten minutes! (I’ll come back to this because I know your curiosity will get the better of you if I don’t explain and you might then have to ring me – my phone is on all the time you know!) Anyway I worked from home today and took a slightly early finish so I could nip to the shops to stock up on a few essentials as we have guests joining us for the weekend. Steve and his new man are driving up from Hertfordshire (sounds better than Hemel Hempstead) to visit us and as I write they are crawling past Derby at around 5mph in the usual Friday night traffic jams. A weekend of fresh air, good wine and visits to country pubs lies ahead. Just the sort of thing you need after a busy week working. Of course, it’s also Halloween tonight, so we will be closing the gates to keep any kids and ghosts out for the night.
Have a good one yourselves.
Oh yea, before I go, you wanted to know about the midnight surprise in my hotel room this week. I was woken by a lot of sudden banging. I crawled out of bed to put the light on and realised it was the coming from the radiators (what else did you think it was). The heating system was clearly playing up and I could hear other people in the rooms next door also switching their lights on and opening doors to check what was happening. My room overlooked the inner courtyard (no view but very quiet) so I took a look to see if there was anything happening. There wasn’t but out the corner of my eye I saw a gentleman standing in his brightly lit room window wearing nothing more than his birthday suit holding something in each hand. After I rubbed my eyes and pinched myself to check I was actually awake and not dreaming/having a nightmare (delete which one you think!) I realised in one hand he had a cigarette and in the other, he had….. er his manhood! The cigarette hand wasn’t moving much!
Happy Halloween.
