I met Soupy <\/a>today. For lunch. And fourteen pints of scrumpy<\/span>. And I handed over a big bag of drugs<\/span> reference books that I’d procured for her.<\/p>\n

When she arrived at the RV, I was chatting with a very senior member of a special police unit on his way in to NSY.<\/p>\n

She rocked up and was all smiles and hellos and charm and he certainly wasn’t.<\/p>\n

We dumped him and moved to an eatery where we ate and tried to talk above the dull roar that is the usual background noise in that place.<\/p>\n

With the food gone we moved to a pub – and moved straight out again to a slightly quieter one. Two people want to have a chat here! Can we have some peace and quiet? Please??<\/p>\n

No, obviously not.<\/p>\n

But the second pub was better than the first which was better than the restaurant so it just about did. Just about.<\/p>\n

And we sat and we chatted and talked and nattered and gossipped and exchanged information and time passed in about 2.4723 nanoseconds – such was the energy and charm and enthusiasm of the Soupster.<\/p>\n

Rats and horses were disucssed, obv. And work and people at work and people at not work and people generally. And generals and… OK, maybe not generals.<\/p>\n

But many things were talked about.<\/p>\n

I had a great time, it was very nice to put a face to a ‘voice’, made lovelier by Soupy’s extremely pleasant personality.<\/p>\n

In terms of female company it’s been an exceptional day for me. Lunch with Soupy, a long chat with Daughter, a big gossip with a couple of the girls at the yard and now… bed with Soph.<\/p>\n

My cup runneth over, but I know how lucky I am.<\/p>\n

Very.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
