elaine texted me this morning, to ask if i'd invite tam to her do. i replied, explaining that tam was half of a couple now and was it ok to invite them both?
the protocol's such a hassle sometimes. never knowing who's talking to whom - and who isn't.
when Eddie & Sheena broke up, just going out was a minefield. you never knew who to talk to - or who was watching. or how each would affect the story when they told their version!
i texted tam about it at lunchtime. he'd definitely be up and about by then. again, i'd plumped for the latest lunch possible. i grabbed a gregg's and ate it on the way to the market.
there, i had a look through Mistress HoneyBunny's stall. does anybody else get that? the sudden urge to buy something to wear, i mean?
it can lie dormant for weeks or months, not even cross your mind, then voom! that undeniable feeling that new clothes are called for.
possibly, it's been triggered by my working downstairs for the last couple of days. try as i might, i have felt kind of dirty on my way home each night. a small price to pay to avoid those scum i'm meant to call my colleagues, though.
mid-afternoon, i got an e-mail from stella. of course it was fine to bring "Someone" to tam's birthday surprise - and it wasn't going to be in her flat, either. she'd got a loan of a dungeon in town. so i definitely need something to wear now!
i left about five. came home, chucked my clothes in the wash and hopped in the shower. i'd forgotten to turn any music on - i didn't even realise until i was already under it, eyes closed.
i scrubbed all the filth of the underworld off me, washed my hair through twice and turned the shower off. one good thing about a scottish summer. it's warm when you climb out the shower - even if it is only for a couple of weeks a year.
