Susan Stephens' Writing Diary

Did I tell you that wiggy Sprog is offsetting massive monthly monies with wiggy companion?

Apparently, he's a 'Nally'

Oh, I said innocently, you mean a 'Nelly' (both of us frowned at this point-And no, I didn't know what a 'Nelly' might be either)

'No, mother', wiggy said patiently with that particular weary sigh of hers, 'I mean a 'Nally.'

'Oh, I see-' (light goes on in brain) , 'He's a Mc Nally from the island of Ireland (things get complicated over here in the UK), 'How nice, dear-'

'No, mother-' (rather less tolerant voice) 'He's a Nally... Not A Lover-' (Hope she uses that face in court- she'll win every case)

'OK, dear, I get it, I'll just call you Apartners from now on-' (Sweet smile, murderous intent)

I wish you many children, everyone!!

Still smiling (just)

Your friend,
Susan
