Susan Stephens' Writing Diary

Donning newly purchased sale price shirt approached husband sure of his approval (for chain store purchase- unlike all the other designer gear I keep well hidden!)

'Do you like it?' I ask, preening.

'Is the lumberjack look in?' he replies.

Lumberjack? I ask you!

Later in same chain store, seeking pyjamas:

Husband, rapidly growing bored: 'Here, these look like you...'

Me: 'But they're in the same lumberjack print as my shirt.'

Husband: 'What's wrong with that?'
(shall I tell him or will you?)

And... He wants to sleep with a lumberjack? Should I be worried?

Later still: Having applied new perfume... latest designer scent, posh bottle, everyone wants it so I had to have it etc etc
Me: What do you think of this, dear? (tilting head so he can sniff my fragrant neck)

Husband: *!+*@! 'It smells like wasp repellent!'

Of course. What else would a lumberjack wear?!

Love to all, and happy reading everyone!
