Abba dancing disappointment (Rousse)

Posted on July 16, 2014 by Dreamaticus

The dancing started accidentally. I just lifted the needle on to the track of the LP that happened to be on the turntable and everyone took to the floor. I thought it would all be over in three minutes, but … Continue reading →

Posted on May 18, 2014 by Dreamaticus

TPR had been behaving rather strangely of late, and now I knew why. He was leaving me for a slim, glossy dark-haired, 18 year-old sixth former. I tried to show the girl friendship, but in reality I was preparing to … Continue reading →

I had no idea how KOB, my former assistant, had got the money to move into this gothic castle and host this extravagant party. However, I did know that I had been over-dressed for the afternoon session but was now under-dressed … Continue reading →

Posted on February 6, 2014 by Dreamaticus

I would have been happier about TPR’s self-organised “surprise” birthday party had he (a) warned me that we were expecting guests (and I could have put on a bra); (b) resisted inviting every waif and stray relative that he had … Continue reading →
