Daily trivia,
One-on-one
You know the rest. While preparing the guestroom for our visitors last month, my darling little housekeeper tripped over the hose of the vacuum-cleaner and hurt her dainty foot. Emma is literally thin-skinned, and bruises easily. This time the bruising was truly spectacular. [I took a couple of photographs, but they were too disgusting to keep, let alone publish. Looking back, I could have Photoshopped them to create some backgrounds - storm-clouds at sunset, perhaps.] Emma is not given to self-pity, but I suspect she secretly enjoyed her temporary incapacity. Although I do all the cooking when there’s just the two of us, Emma likes to take charge when we have visitors, in case they think she’s a lady of leizure. This time she had an excuse. It suited me, too, as it happens. Since Emma was unable to walk any distance, we were able to send the visitors out unaccompanied, giving Emma and me some time on our own. I mean quality time, involving handfuls of soft tissue and a fistful (perhaps a mouthful) of erectile tissue.
