“Frame up”

You know how I said we were getting some photographs done for free, because the girl with the camera wanted to use our shots for publicity? It turns out we DID pay her – I found the receipt today in a pile of Philippa’s stuff I was going through.  It was only a small amount, but still, it was an outgoing that I hadn’t been made aware of. In fact, my wife had deliberately lied to me about it.

So I had a bit of a go at Philippa about it (justifiably so, in my opinion). She gave a little shrug of the shoulders and said “I knew you’d only say yes if it was free so I lied a little”

Now I’m not sure what annoys me more - the lie itself, or me being so predictable and so easy to manipulate.

I don’t suppose I can blame her for taking advantage of me when I make it so easy to do….

“A relic of a broken past”

Hannah came round today with a photograph she had unearthed from the back of a drawer somewhere. It was an unusual one because it had all three of us siblings together, with our mother, and we all looked fairly happy.

We looked at it in silence and then talked about something else.

“Quirky personality thing”

This is a bit strange, but when I eat bags of crisps now I like to tip them out into a bowl, rather than eat them from the packet.
