Courting days
[Monday, 7th September, 1959] Took Emma to the Cheshire Cat yesterday. We got there just as it opened, so we had the place to ourselves and could hide in the corner booth. Thought I would push the boat out and ordered a pitcher of Pimms number one between us. With no other customers to serve and obviously with nothing better to do with his time, the barman really went to town. When he served it, the drink looked more like a fruit salad than an alcoholic beverage and came complete with two umbrellas and a swizzle-stick. We were both dying to laugh, and as soon as we were alone again, Emma got an uncontrollable fit of the giggles. Every time she took a sip of her drink, she started again. Before we finished the pitcher, Emma was drunk with laughter, and I was drunk just by looking at her. I don’t think the Pimms could have been that potent. Felt her tits on the way home through the park and even got my hand up her skirt. Missed the bus and had to walk home.
