Another JLC in the house…

[Quite literally, in the house.]

Mrs pplater is a formidable woman; a woman who knows her own mind; a woman not to be trifled with.

This last week saw the passing of a significant milestone for Mrs pplater. A worthy husband spends a long time thinking in advance: “What can be done to mark this milestone in a truly appropriate fashion?” The milestone, of course, involved the passage of a certain period of time (it would be indelicate to say just how much time). What better gift than a gift which marks the passage of time?  Mrs pplater was gently sounded out, but saw ‘Plan A’ coming a mile off. “No!” she barked. “The last thing I need is another watch!! Do not – repeat, DO NOT – buy me another watch”.

A dutiful husband (and especially the dutiful husband of a formidable woman) does not ignore these admonitions. A dutiful husband does not buy another watch. Dutiful husbands, however, are not necessarily imaginative husbands, and with the plan to buy a new watch firmly rejected, it was necessary to re-think and find a ‘Plan B’.

After much agonising, a flash of inspiration: meet ‘Plan B’ –

The formidable Mrs pplater is happy.

Therefore a very relieved pplater is happy.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and all is good in the world.

Cheers,

pplater.
