Courting days
[Sunday, 22nd February, 1959] Lucky escape last night. I could have been caught with my fingers in Emma’s pie. As it happened, I hadn’t even got round to unfastening her bra when the door opened and the Old Girl came in to put a shilling in the meter. The gas had run out. Fortunately, I was putting a record on at the time, so everything looked innocent enough - Emma sitting all prim and proper and looking as if butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth. I dread to think what we might have been up to if the gas had lasted out for a few minutes more. I can hardly tell the Old Girl to knock before she comes into the room or she will certainly think we are up to no good. In future, I will remember to put a shilling in the meter as soon as we get in. That way we are unlikely to be disturbed. As much tit and finger-pie as I want for a shilling. Can’t complain at that.
