NOT him, but he'll do.
"Fortunately, I've just had my TV mended. I say mended - a shifty young man in plimsolls waggled my aerial and wolfed my Gipsy Creams, but that's the comprehensive system for you."
After years of unreliable signal strength from our cable/wifi, we'd finally had enough. So today, a very cute young engineer in a figure-hugging uniform arrived at Dolores Delargo Towers, to cheer me up in my convalescence and to finally - for £75, ker-ching - move the modem from the front room (where we never sit [it's mainly used as a spare bedroom], and don't have any computers, laptops nor a telly) to our living-room at the rear of the house.
That's cheered us up no end! [We did allow him to escape unmolested, in case you wondered...]
Meanwhile, this [from whence the opening quote originated, of course...]!
I'm glad you're on the mend and I hope the young gentleman caller wasn't too demanding!

'Where?'

Thank you, dear.

"No, it's just where she's nodded off on her Dick Francis."

Hilarious quote. I adore Kitty! I love being poked on the street by acquaintances. I’ll have to start mashing swede.

ReplyDeleteYou mean he didn't even take a meander in the back passage???
"Foul, festering, grubby-minded little trollop! Do not use that word!" [link]
DeleteHe was on his knees in front of me quite a lot - but not even a sniff. Shame... Jx
