Oh no, not another....
In haste as I am having a quick breather before meeting a deadline. (Yes, RT, I will meet it!)
I caught Himself pounding away on the laptop at seven this morning. This can only mean one thing…yes, you’ve got it.
‘You’re not looking at another cornet, are you?’ I said in tones that would have daunted a lesser male.
Nervous giggle. ‘Well, Pop I couldn’t turn it down. It’s only thirty five quid including postage.’
‘I thought you said you weren’t getting another cornet.’
He frowned and sipped his now cold tea. ‘Well, no, Pop but this one’s different.’ He tried another tack; anything to melt his wife’s cold heart. ‘It’s like a stray dog, darling. I couldn’t say no.’
'We'll have to move house,' I said. 'We haven't got any room for any more cornets.' I despaired and went off to make toast. He came scurrying down the hall like the forementioned stray. ‘I won’t buy any more, Pop. Promise.’
‘You said that before.’ Mountains wouldn’t move me.
‘I could cancel my Paypal account,’ he added in desperation. ‘That’d stymie me.’
But somehow I don’t know that it would.
