After the adventure at the dark and wet adventure in the
bush mines Mr Husband thought it would a good idea to take me somewhere else. I
like being taken in different locations. Variety is the spice of life. Why he
thought this would be a good idea I have no idea. Nevertheless we headed to the
river for a little stroll.
Well
we strolled along the bank of the river, not in the river itself because I had
me new shoes on. We watched all the other people having a good time. Some
people were sat on my favourite bench having a picnic. I was very annoyed to
say the least. You walk all that way and are in dire need of a sit down on your
favourite bench and there's a feckin family from yonder estate having a friggin
picnic on it. Never one to let someone else having a picnic deter me I plonked
myself in between an old man and a cake shaped woman- (actually that's my kind
of woman is that - not in a lesbian sort of way-les be straight on that- but in
a cake sort of way). 'Budge up fatty' I said in my most politest voice, 'and
give us a bit of thee cake'. Mines Mr Husband looked a bit embarrassed so he
just stood back and watched from the side lines. There was a little kid in
front of me with a bottle of fizzy. I was sooo thirsty. So I asked him for
some.
'Don't you know that's bad for
you?' I asked him. 'It ain't' he protested. 'it ain't is it mum?' he said
looking at the cake shaped woman sat next to me. She couldn't answer, she had a
face full of cake. This was, I reckon so she wouldn't have to share it with me.
Some peoples can be very mean with cake. 'It is too', I said. 'Its full of
sugar. 17 spoonfuls in one bottle. More than twice the governments recommended
daily dose. Your teeth will all rot and fall out and you will fart all night.
Ye shall be a danger to thee candle'. He started wailing. Loudly. Touchy!! I
tussled with him to get it out of his hand. But he had a vice like grip on
that. Kids are like that from estates. (If you come from one such estate I am
sorry to hear that. Also my publisher will advise I apologise if you are over
sensitive and get offended easily. All I can say is move away from that bitch
next door- don't let her pick on ye anymore). It's a survival technique they
learn before they can even walk- they learn it at the same time as learning how
to make a pot noodle and get crisps out of the cupboard. Then once that is achieved
they need to learn how to keep hold of it before some nifty tealeaf haves it
outta their hands. Eventually some old geezer who could have been the grand
father or the uncle or even the father stood up and said 'c'mon lets go'. The
cake shaped woman just looked at him and said 'feck off
you Merv, we don't know who you are'. She did
know who he was- she call him Merv! Anyways he walked off on his own. Then she
gathered up five or six kids, and a snotty baby before realising he wasn't even
hers and promptly dumped the poor little sod back on the grass and he crawled
off bawling, and she put her bottle of water (in a vodka bottle none the less-that
be no way to treat water) in her Asda's carrier bag and picked up a dirty old
leopard print jacket and stomped off, kicking up grass as she went. Mines Mr
Husband came and plonked his weary arse next to mine. He looked shell shocked
bless him. 'It be ok my lover' I said. 'I will look after thee'. Then after we
had a rest and watched the world going by we wandered along some more. We saw
Merv, he was sat chatting to a group of teenage lads who kept calling him grand
dad. Then we found a nice spot by the river to sit down on my favourite tree
stump. A tree surgeon was breaking off branches of a tree and throwing them
down. Mines Mr Husband said he was not a tree surgeon but a thoughtless and
uncouth yob who should not have been breaking the tree up. In hindsight I think
mines Mr Husband was probably right. Lots of people were throwing sticks (that
the tree surgeon had thrown down) into the river and shouting 'fetch'. Dogs
were jumping in left right and centre and bringing sticks back. A dog brought
me a stick. I thought that was kind of him. I didn't know he and he didn't know
me. I threw it back it the water and shouted 'fetch'. Immediately without hesitation
mines Mr Husband threw himself into the river and brought the stick back- after
wrestling it from the jaws of the dog that had brought to me in the first
instance. He did that several times more until he was exhausted. I was pleased
because I think I have at last trained mines Mr Husband to obedience standard.
Even my little dog Mitzi didn't go and get a stick when told to.
When we got home he said 'Oh I think I have
caught the sun, my cheeks are aglow. They are burning'. After all
t'was very sunny and very warm. 'Well', I said
'Tis your own fault, you shoulda kept your trousers on- or at least applied some
xfactor'. Think we shall go there again. I enjoyed that afternoon. Might even
take me own cake.
