Dinner & Dogs

Subject: Are you back from Hades

Hello,

How's hell treating you or are you back on earth? If you're back how about we catch up sometime soon to eat something yummy, drink something red, blacken our lungs and catch up on life?

Sweetie, back from nirvana. Hell is still on this planet... waiting for me. How are you?

Christian

Subject: call from Hades

I'm splendid, thanks very much. How about catching up for dinner sometime soon?

Dinner would be splendid. How about next week – I know, I know, I'm a pussy, but I think I just need this week to settle back into things. What day is good for you? I can't do Wednesdays, as I go to my mums.

Next week works for me – and no that doesn't make you a pussy. Is either Tues or Thurs good for you (Mon and Fri out for me for the next few weeks)

Kym

Subject: call from Hades

Either. I'm easy – actually, I proved that on the weekend, but that is not a story for work email.

I'm off. "I'm goin' home I've done my time..."

Christian

Subject: call from Hades

Now you've got me humming that tune.

How about Thurs seeing as you're easy (coz I get paid that day which means I can afford to eat out)

Thursday is lovely. Is that the 11th August?

"The whole damn bus is cheering, and I can't believe my eyes..."

Yep, that'd be the 11th. How about you meet me outside the front of my building – just let me know what time and I'll be there... shall I bring a yellow ribbon to tie around that old oak tree?

Kym

Subject: call from Hades

Sounds good. I'll be there around 5.30

Yellow ribbons would be great!

Subject: Hello

Howdy Chris,

I wasn’t offended – not at all. I thought it was healthy; somebody relating to one of us as if we weren’t joined at the hip – fine by me and Jeff too (I nearly didn’t put that last bit in as it did sound a bit JATH – joined at the hip – keep up!)

Understand the work thing totally. As you may, or may not, know… I am happily unemployed! Self appointed long service leave. I’ve been working 25 years this year. I got put on a crap assignment at work and thought – na, not interested, need a break. So I am taking one. Of course I never sit on my laurels (wherever your laurels might be) – so I am currently renovating Jeff’s investment property up here. I love it. Just little old me, tools and the odd tradesmen (and some of them are so cute!). It’s also creative and God knows we all need a little bit of that in our lives!

So, thanks for the email to just me. Hope work is improving – God I’ll have to go back to it one day soon.

Take care

Lots of love
