Proposals

According to history, Feb 29th is the day that a woman can propose to a man, so I propose:

• Cleaning the cooker
• Cleaning the shower
• Cleaning the windows
• Washing the bedding
• Cleaning the toilet
• Doing the dusting
• Doing the hoovering
• Washing the curtains

There, that feels better, can’t wait for the reply…

And in other news: We’re now being stalked. Remember those 2 swans from yesterday? Well they’ve moved into the gap next to the boat. I opened the curtains this morning & there they were, sat waiting. Too late, eye contact had been made. I found myself bobbing down out of sight & shouting to Dave “hide quick!”

So there we were huddled beneath the window, tittering like a couple of kids. I can’t remember which one of us said “what next?” first. But after discussing various options (of which there weren’t any), we agreed to stand up, act natural, & not look out the windows. Have you ever tried not to look out of the windows on a boat? Takes some skill that…

Eventually they gathered their feathers together & moved on, but one of them looked back at me & said:

“I’ll be back, tee hee”
