It was all highly bizarre
and, naturally, it turned one’s mood.
One’s faithful houseboy,
Chu Me, acutely aware of one’s morning bout of sadness, tried to do what he
could to cheer one up. He tried to mount one’s pussy, Crotchet, and ride him side
saddle along the corridor outside one’s quarters; one could not even raise a
smile. Even when Crotchet repaid the compliment by clawing at Chu Me’s clothing
with short, sharp blows of his curled up, claw-extended paws and hissing wildly,
one still took no interest.
The two walked off slowly,
Chu Me’s shoulders slumped with disappointment and Crotchet’s tail dragging
lifelessly along the carpet behind him.
As one dressed in
appropriate attire for breakfast, one could see from one’s dressing room window
that Chu Me had decided to make a special trip to the side
of the stables to collect some fresh eggs from his hens. One caught sight of
him as he picked up the elliptical shells of creamy yolkiness and put them in
his wicker basket - his hens scurrying around his feet with pride and joy at a job well
done. Bending down to cup his hand around the underside of his cock, he squeezed
it lovingly to his chest and kissed it on the head before he released it, setting
it back on the ground next to his feet
(one could almost hear the thud through the double glazing … it is a mighty
beast indeed). Leaving the coop, he secured the padlock on the door and
headed back toward the residence.
A small glistening droplet
of ocular liquid forced itself from one’s right tear duct as one realised the
love he had for these creatures and indeed for ensuring one had the best of
everything. It was clearly one’s weakened state that caused such an
unnecessarily emotional reaction at such an early hour of the day. Taking a
deep breath and clenching one’s hands into stylish and epidermally soft fists, one
established composure once more and made one’s way down the staircase of the
Great Hall to the breakfast room. The household staff were busying away with
their chores while trying to be inconspicuous. The one brushing the stairs was,
however, certainly not. One did not have the energy to say anything and decided the kick
one executed to her right thigh would have to be enough.
Sat in the breakfast room
with one’s gorgeous North East legend Colin his-twinkle-makes-me-tingle
Briggs relaying the local news on BBC Breakfast, one settled down for
something to fuel one for the day. One put Chu Me’s eggs into one’s mouth and found
them extremely creamy - with just the right amount of saltiness. Yet despite
this, one’s mood did not improve. The
lightweight Masato ensemble of natural fabrics one had chosen, along with
diamond mounted accessories should have made one feel utterly fabulous most
certainly, yet one could not help but feel a little uncomfortable as the
gorgeous fabric clung a little too tightly to one’s shapely frame.
Checking one’s social
calendar, one noted one had arranged to meet one’s dear friend Fanny O’Dour –
landlady of the Badger’s Snatch – for some refreshment. We had agreed to visit the
local coffee shop rather than attend her own watering hole. One often felt she
spent her life there and it was always nice to have a change of surroundings.
Her husband, Willy O’Dour, was more than capable of running the show for a few
hours … and quite right too.
At 11.04am , one set off in GUSSET 2 from the crunching gravel
drive of one’s beloved Crusty Hall and sped down the winding country lanes towards
the heart of the village, the delicious sounds of one’s treasured and iconic poppet, Holly
Johnson filling the cabin with melodious joy.
Fanny was waiting on the
bench at the corner of the village green when one arrived, reading (with alarm,
one imagined) a pamphlet that looked suspiciously like the ones handed out by
the vicar’s wife, Marjorie Flecks, whenever she had a singing recital planned. One
parked the Aston in one’s usual place and sashayed elegantly across the black
and glistening tarmac of the road to join her. Despite the inclement weather, there was a
warmth in the air and a breeze that brushed one’s soft cheeks like that one
enjoyed annually on the shores of one’s beloved Montgat.
“Crusty!” She squealed and
extended her arms. We kissed each other affectionately on each cheek, linked
arms and made our way towards the coffee shop. Telling her of one’s misery at
feeling a little plumper today she attempted to cheer one up.
“Don’t talk nonsense,
Crusty! You look as radiant as ever and you have a figure to die for.”
It certainly seemed to
help. As she pressed the latch of the coffee shop door and we entered to the
sound of the bell suspended above, one’s spirits did indeed lift, even in the
face of resting one’s eyes on the horrendously long queue of people at the
counter. Perhaps one wasn’t as temporarily
overweight as one had thought.
Anyhoo … eventually, a
rather sorry looking individual got round to serving us.
“Good morning, Dame
Crusty. Sorry about your wait” she announced.
“Sorry about one’s
weight?!” One screeched. One was
outraged!
“And one’s sorry about
your saggy tits, fat arse and rather unkempt yellow hair, dear! Now, two creamy
fingers and a pot of tea if you please!!”
As the embarrassed individual
curtsied and turned quickly to tend to one’s needs, Fanny leant forward and
whispered in one’s ear. “I think she was referring to the queue, Crusty.”
One stopped and thought
for a moment. Ah, the wonders of the English Language. As soon as one realised,
Fanny and I giggled like schoolgirls at the misunderstanding, carrying our fayre to our
usual table.
Later, as Fanny and I
prepared to leave the coffee shop the servant girl came to our table to collect
the cups and payment. It was here, one fancies, she tried to get some level of
revenge for one’s tiny little mix-up earlier.
“What?! No tip?!” She said,
with a hint of venom wisping from her unpleasant breath.
“Oh sorry, poppet” one
replied.
Holding her coarse hand with
one’s left, one covered the back of it with one’s right and patted it
gently. Looking endearingly into her bloodshot eyes one said, “Yes of course,
dear … a longer tabbard to cover your arse, a pair of chicken fillets to lift
your bangers … oh … and a hat … to hide y’ tatty hair. Good day to you.”
With that, Fanny and I
walked out – to the sound of smashing tea cups and a scream - and made our way down
the street to the Badger’s Snatch, where we had planned to sneak in through the
back but when we came across the drayman pulling off his kegs at the entrance
of the beer garden, we instead entered through the lounge entrance and partook
of a refreshing glass of Pere Ventura Tresor Reserva Cava before one set off
home to the opulent comfort of one's beloved Crusty Hall.
Dearest Dame Crusty,
ReplyDeleteYour latest blog entry is quite simply Outstanding !
It was not only words , but moving pictures that bounced from the page and created a silver screen performance right before my eyes.
It almost felt as if I were walking at an invisible distance behind you watching your journey on that day.
I laughed so so much ...but when tenderness crept from your pen regarding Chu Me and Crotchet I was sweetly touched .
To be able to read your work is a real priveledge and a treat of the magnificent kind .
From your loyal Poppet
Caroline
