Double Glazing / December 20 2007
Audrey and I put Hamilton on the train to Manchester this morning. He spent more than an hour on the telephone to his agent after breakfast and has managed to borrow a modest flat in the city for a few months. He even has some voice-over work lined up.
He also dug deep and managed to find the energy to flatter the attractive girl in the ticket office on the frosty westbound platform of Alfreton station. ‘Darling, your beauty is so radiant that it brings unspeakable pain to an average man’s eyes,’ he told her.
She eyed him with feline detachment from behind the toughened glass of her tiny booth before replying, ‘That’s twenty-five pounds and seventy-nine pence, please.’
Then, rather unexpectedly, she looked at me and held my gaze for a few seconds. If I was more fanciful, I might have assumed that there was some romantic significance in her stare, but I fear it was merely my overactive thyroid playing up again. Either way, I cannot deny that Hamilton’s observation was not inaccurate: she did indeed have very beautiful grey eyes and otherwise exquisite features.
‘Your Uncle Nelson arrives tomorrow,’ I reminded Audrey as we made our way back to the house.
The dashing and debonair Mr. Galaxy will be here for two weeks to continue working on his début album and, it being Christmas and all, we shall probably have to venture out of an evening to hunt for sexy lady women girls. ‘Tis the season to polish my mojo.
Meanwhile, my little dog knows that later today she will be having her yuletide bath (I may even have one myself, come to think of it) and consequently, she is doing her best to hide from me. She is ensconced presently in a dark corner under the bed trying to look as tiny and inconspicuous as possible. She is being as quiet as a mouse, but if she were to say anything, it would probably be this: ‘Nobody here but us chickens!’

Glad Ham found a place to stay. And maybe you and Audrey could share a bath. Save on water etc.
