Should I lie to my grocer about what I've been up to?

[AgentZigzag]

My local grocers is run by a lovely couple, probably in their 40's and look like they might have been a bit 'alternative' in a previous life (he looks like Gary Newman ).

I go in a couple of times a week, and I'm usually served by the woman, who likes to talk to DD2/have a bit of a chinwag etc.

The problem is that I'm one for only doing the small talk thing, and not going any further. So I don't mind chatting about the weather (dull, but it's impossible to sidestep remarking on it round these parts) but I'd stop short of what me and DH get up to once the DC are in bed.

This coupled with the fact that my life is quite 'calm' by choice since we got married, we do the normal shit everyone does holidays/days out/going out to see friends/family, but I'm done with fitting 6 kazillion things in everyday.

So when the grocer invariably asks me 'What did you get up to over the weekend?' or 'What have you got planned for today/tonight?' I kind of go into mumbling mode, there's only so many times you can say 'Oh, not much', 'this and that', 'the usual'.

So what could I say instead?

Obviously dishonesty is a despicable crime, but I think in the circumstances a little bending of the truth is called for.

Just in case I'm accused of drip feeding - they sell <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=hybrid+broccoli+and+cauliflower&hl=en&sa=X&biw=1146&bih=718&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=Y34kwxgNjVnT6M:&imgrefurl=newcreationist.blogspot.com/2011/02/resilient-design-of-gods-creation-of.html&docid=Y9I9rs-2Jzq38M&w=640&h=510&ei=xKpwTs6nF43Hsgbf16ybBw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=157&vpy=171&dur=1278&hovh=167&hovw=181&tx=134&ty=121&page=1&tbnh=167&tbnw=181&start=0&ndsp=14&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">broccoflowers, purple cauliflowers and doughnut peaches

My Mum grows romanescu, it's gorgeous stuff and really easy to grow. I love getting her veg parcels, she grows some really weird stuff.

Ooooh, I might do that next year, Sarah. Thank you for the inspiration! Is it really easy?

What do you and DH get up to when the DCs have gone to bed Agent? And why do you need so many fractal broccoflowers and toroidal peaches for it, whatever it is?

Unless we are told, we can't possibly advise you.

Do you think they are swingers?

My friend did something similar tried pass self of as Italian and i translate how the deck was she to know that one of the guys was half Italian

Funny as deck she was faking it but when he launched into it I was the one who had to really translate to her .well I could hardly be the one pretending to be Italian as red hair /freckles .But I do speak and understand it that in it's self can be fun in restaurant/pub when your listening into conversations (since we all know English don't speak other languages .Nothing like asking them to pass the pepper or something and watch the penny drop that you. Understood every word they said

Shall I ask them ilike?

That could spice up a dull Monday morning.

Have you heard anything that wasn't meant for your ears THC?
