hogging the seat

Tweet

My teapot only contained enough water for one and a half cups of tea. I should probably complain, but I shan't as I've been hogging this seat for nearly an hour now. I have a mouthful left. It's cold. How long can I make it last? It's not busy though so nobody is rushing me. I have an hour and a half to play with before I meet Mumsy. I think I'll visit the swans and ducks by the river. The sun is shining and they'll be frisky. I also need to pop into a shop and look at their spring jackets. Oh, and I shall be really daring and go to the library. I don't even know if the one in this town is open on a Friday morning. What an adventure! The market is on today, as the rhyme dictated, and so I shall have the opportunity to indulge in a spot of people-watching. Who shall I see today? ChavMum in her pink velour tracksuit, dragging a bunch of screaming kids around? Old Woman in her headscarf and duffle coat, buttons done up, ignorant of the sunny sunshine and blue skies? Teenage Kid enjoying his Easter break, skateboarding near the poor ducks? I'm getting The Look now. You know, the one that says, You've been here for too long, please leave. Or maybe I'm just being a wee bit paranoid. Either way, it is now time for me to enjoy the next part of my day out. Happy Friday, everyone! And would you listen to that ... Blondie has just started singing on the airwaves. Debbie Harry can accompany me to the loo, bless her.
