Long Weekend...

It's a long bank holiday weekend and me and the Missus have had a few days relaxing and I am waxing lyrical.

'Life can quite simple, can’t it? I mean, essentially, you’re affectionate some of the time and we do rude stuff and in return I make you happy. That’s pretty much the deal, isn’t it?'

The Missus stares at me. It's the sort of knowing look I imagine a farmer gives to his favourite sheep before sending him off the slaughterhouse.
'When you gonna start your end of the bargain then?’ she asks.

After more than 15 years together, the Missus still hasn’t lost her sense of humour. Bless her and her vicious and uncompromising tongue...
