Before I came out this evening
(written evening 27th September 2016)
The cat is waiting at the door, waiting to be let in, so
that it can walk around, sniff its bowl, turn its nose up and scratch at the
mat to be let out again. Either that, or get under my feet as I prepare tea.
I must check the “best by” dates. Should we eat the things
which are a day over-due? What if we all die of food poisoning? If we all die,
then it won’t be a problem, will it?
The cat is asleep on the chair. The food is prepared and ready
to be served. My satchel is packed and ready to go. I have the time for the
journey planned. Everything is ready – Ready to go.
Dinner is served! Fresh fish supplemented by the TV dinner
that we should have given to the Mother-in-law on Saturday but was overlooked.
That was past its best by date. What if we get food poisoning? What if the
Mother-in-law gets food poisoning? Oh no! Don’t think that. I like my
Mother-in-law, better than I like the cat anyway.
Time to go! Kiss the wife, pick up the satchel check the
pockets of my jacket. Everything’s there. We’re off!
