An open Door to a wounderland

I still do not know what possessed her that night or what she was thinking by standing at the bar with one very unhappily married, mid-forties lady and a young 24-year-old trainee accountant. Whatever, it opened a couple of doors for me to have some fun. After only our second visit to the pub, I took our glasses back to the bar. We had just moved into the village and opted for a drink instead of unpacking. While chatting with a young female bar worker, my partner Jane, joined wedging herself between me and two women, Erica, a sweet young accountant, and a disgruntled stable maid (about 40) f… Leer más

While I was away, she did play – Part II

So, do you remember what happened when I caught Jane and while I was away, she the mouse did play, and now, I was in the mood to rat on the cat. so, I drove back to my hotel only stopping for beer at a lovely place I know near to where I stayed. Now call it coincidence or teletherapy or whatever you like I do not care but the strangest thing happened. Lauren my daughter-in-law, called. “Hi, I and what can I do for you this fine evening”? I said trying to sound upbeat. Lauren I must add is distant family, well she is the wife of a stepson but hey, family. She and Adam were having the usual ma… Leer más

While I was away the cats did play

I married a divorcee who had c***dren, and we were together for many years. My work involved going away occasionally but not for more than a couple of nights. As time went on and the k**s grew, we moved to a new house on the edge of a small village, and as we had spare land at the rear, so we decide to extend and have a spare bedroom downstairs with a bathroom in case they brought a “friend home”. They soon knocked that on the head; they wanted all-night parties, a student thing. Not long after moving, I had to work away from home for a few weeks on a special project, Jane was not happy abou… Leer más

Anna, my favourite bar maid

Occasionally, I go out alone to a friendly pub not far from home. It's a typical English pub in many ways and serves traditional ails. Good bar food served on plates, none of your overrated restaurant types, and in winter, a roaring fire to greet you as you walk in. The staff are quite amiable; even when the place is full of visitors, my pint is always pulled straight away. The best time is usually lunch when there are few people about as it's a country pub, so I get to talk to the staff and pass the time of day. Now, I might be considered too mature and old-fashioned by them. Still, they alwa… Leer más

Recruiting a Recruiter

Jasmin and I have worked together for some years, well five to be exact but who counts. You see I freelance, and she finds me leads and contracts to complete. Well after a while of NULL activity I called her to see what the market was doing for the new year. After a relatively complex call, and poor line I said, “Let’s do Lunch and discuss opportunities”, “Good idea, I’m free Thursday, I work from home so we can go to Mountie's wine bar, they do a lovely tepas” she replied and we book Thursday into our diaries. Overall, I have to say, Jasmin has been one of the better agents I have worked w… Leer más
