have just taken delivery of 5 meters of bubble wrap dressed in cycling shorts, my nightie, and a sweater... and

[QuintessentiallyFestive]

guess what the delivery man said when I opened the door.....

Shhheeexshy!

he probably wondered why the bubble wrap was wearing your shorts

Wowser??

ha ha squeeky, no, he was a very good humouredly sort of fella!

I also thought the thread was about dressed up bubble wrap.

No, no, rereading my title I can see how misleading it is....

hello Cherie?

Going somewhere nice?

Did he scream and run away?

The men in white coats will be along shortly??

Sign here please.

Are you married?

He looked at me and said.

Oh YOU are not really ready for your day, are you.

To which I replied.

"no, not really" (then coughed pointedly )

And he laughed and said

"you look like you really did not want to open the door!"

I said

"right again!"

And for some reason, this friendly exchange really brightened up my morning!

I LOVE cheerful and honest people!

It would have cheered me up too. Just that 'human' element of the interaction between people.
