I snapped this photograph on Sunday afternoon as we strolled along Southwold seafront.

CHELSEA So what's in your sandwich?
WHITNEY I've got roasted llama and pomegranate with chicory.
CHELSEA Mine's Sicilian sun-blessed tomatoes with mature Swiss goat's cheese and Hampshire water cress.
At the hole
BRETT Come on Jordan! Keep passing the sand. We've got to finish burying him before the sea comes up.
JORDAN But he's your little brother! Why should I have to do all the work Brett?
BRETT Well I helped you to bury your grandma yesterday! So get moving you lazy arse!

MAUREEN Don't look now Dave but there's a fellow with a camera over there.
DAVE What's he doing?
MAUREEN Taking pictures of course. Oo! He's a handsome devil!
DAVE I hope my missus doesn't see em.
MAUREEN And I hope my Bob doesn't either.
DAVE Where does Bob think you are?
MAUREEN I told him I was going to stay with my sister Briony in Brighton.
DAVE I told my missus I was going fishing on the Norfolk Broads with the lads.
MAUREEN Tell her you caught a big trout!
DAVE More like a killer whale!
DAVE and MAUREEN Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Maureen won't be laughing tonight when she's dealing with that sunburn ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Seriously, she's going to regret it.
ReplyDeleteYour imagination is having way too much fun.
Dave may have to smooth some aromatic massage oil into her affected parts.
Deleteyep, the sunburn is the only thing i saw! ouch
ReplyDeletealso, roasted llama and pomegranate with chicory!
DeleteYou Aussies are too hypersensitive about sunburn!
DeleteI may have to steal this whole concept. If I do, I will give you credit, Mr. P!
ReplyDeleteYou could make up scripts to go with pictures of your grandchildren.
DeleteEntertaining dialogue! Those boys remind me of my brothers when we vacationed at the beach in Florida.
ReplyDeleteDid they bury you Bonnie?
DeleteI was very young so they only buried one another!
DeleteThey were kind to their sweet little sister.

DeleteMaureen: Oh, Dave.
ReplyDeleteDave: Oh, Maureen.
Maureen: OWWW! Dave, my SUNBURN!!!!
(FADE TO BLACK)
Ha-Ha! Nice one Mr C. Sounds you have "been there"!
DeleteHow long did you spend in the pub, Mr. Pud??
ReplyDeleteLots of fun....thanks for the laughs. :)
