A birthday surprise

July 15th, 2010

It has been a busy day.

Our K8 arrived here at the crack of dawn [around half eleven] when I wasn’t fully awake so the day got off to a rocky start.  I couldn’t complain, because it’s her birthday.  Birthdays are important occasions to five [and three quarter] year old granddaughters, so it had to be celebrated in style.  We managed to avoid the party hats and merely demolished a few bottles of wine so it was a quiet visit.

I just dropped them all home.

On the way back I called into the village to restock on my apples, as Puppychild had made free with the last of my stash.

While I was in the village, Herself phoned me.

“Are you going into the butchers?” she asked.

I said I would be passing it.

“Surprise me,” says she “and bring home some fresh meat.  Make sure it’s lean, fresh and fat free.”

I surprised her all right.

I brought home the girl from behind the counter.

    It rubs the marinade on its skin and it puts it in the basket or else it gets the hose again.

    Poor butcher girl.
