Its strange really you never notice the police around unless you are driving and doing an excessive speed, or had a LARGE wine at lunch instead of your usual small. We go about our business without ever really having to cross lines, we are parallel running smoothly together until the course changes and we find ourselves overlapping that thin blue line.
I went to work, the sun shone and the children had eaten breakfast without needing a shower afterwards. The world seemed to be going my way, this of course worried me. I looked into the sky to see if a meteor were about to crash through the sky? No, even a bird managed to direct its bottom in another direction when relieving itself to miss me. I was scared stiff, NEVER have i had a day like this. I told myself to calm down and relax my shoulders which were by now riding up and chaffing my ears with anxiety.
My whole morning went swimmingly, i was relaxing even without a Swedish massage and a bucket of plonk. I decided to go home and lunch with my husband who was working from home. He must have sold the car by now as he had put it up for sale on eBay. I pulled the car into the street where we lived and heard a terrible noise, perhaps the meteor was coming? No it was worse, MUCH worse.
As i stopped the car i saw where the noise was coming from and why, i SAW where it was coming from as two men were arguing with my husband, i saw WHY they were arguing as my husband was spread over our car bonnet while the other men tried to wrestle him off. I shouted at them as i ran up the drive much like a pre school teacher with naughty boys. They quickly regressed and stood to attention, by now the police had arrived. I split the parties up by telling them to stand in different corners (I swear my husband faced the wall!)
Myself and the nice police officers listened to both sides of the story here are the facts -
- Hubby put Car on eBay (wanted £1000) didn't worry about reserve price
- Bloke won car bidding for £600
- Hubby agreed sale before realising price
- Hubby is now band from eBay
I sold the car, for many reasons mainly because hubby was wrong but also because the neighbours were laughing and pointing. I said thank you to the officers and promised he would never do this again.
I went to school to pick the children up, i felt better now the world had righted itself, my friend bad luck was back! When i returned home , hubby went for a run with the dog to relieve HIS stress. On his return he went for a shower as usual. just then the door knocked and as i answered i saw a familiar sight, a police officer! I greeted him and asked him to step inside and what the problem was hoping they were not back to arrest hubby over breaching the peace or noise disturbance. No, there had been another disturbance at the back of our house a women had been flashed by a man JOGGING.
My hubby hearing the police officer downstairs came down in his towel, after apologising for his attire he explained he had just come back from JOGGING. It took an hour to prove my hubby was innocent, not only did the flasher not have a dog but was very different to hubby! phew!
Well as i say police are like buses see none for ages then two come along, but we managed to live to fight another day. As i wake up i now long for my tea to scold my top lip or to fall down the stairs - Good luck scares the shit out of me x
