Twelve Days (It takes two): Day 9

Day 9
Ryan and Sarah had been busy all morning making sure that his parents were well taken care of, providing them with a choice of cereal, a variety of fruit juices and smoothies all followed by a full English breakfast. Ryan was quite a good cook and enjoyed it when he was feeling up to it. Sarah had been complaining of bad back pains all morning and he had insisted she put her feet up in front of the TV and let him wait on her.
Sarah being Sarah couldn’t sit still, she just wanted to make sure everything was just so, the last thing she told Ryan that she needed was his parents making subtle remarks about the house or the food or anything.
Ryan had decided that he would take his parents out for lunch to save him any more cooking and washing up duties.
“Sarah…Sarah…SARAHHHHHH” “Stop yelling Ryan, just go and speak to her. Go on. I’m just going to hoover a bit.”
“No…no…you don’t need to do that mum. Just wait. I will speak to Sarah about the restaurant and then maybe we could all…

Twelve days (It takes two) : Day 8

Ryan was in the park early. He sat in his usual place on the bench and Amber lay at his feet. He was exhausted. Most of yesterday had been spent sat in A & E waiting to get checked over in case of concussion and his pride was still stinging after been caught by his mother in flagrante.

His worries about her killing him because of the tattoo had yet to come to the surface as she still found it difficult to look at him without getting the giggles. Ryan hoped the baby would hurry up and be born so that it would all soon be forgotten as they focussed on cooing.

There was no dog obedience class today but Ryan had needed to get out of the house and get some air. As he looked down at Amber he felt relieved that she was well behaved already, if he had of had to train her then who knew how that would have gone. He patted her on her head, “youre such a good girl Amber, you sure do make me look good” and the dog wagged her tail as if to concur.

“Alright there Ryan”
“Oh, hell…

Roll up, roll up! I have a visitor! Welcome...Muppets for Justice

Hello Addman and welcome to ‘The Suddenly Kate Show’, it’s great to have you here, I hope you like what I have done with the place.
Thanks, it's great to be here. I appreciate that you've cleaned the bloodstains out of the rug since my last visit.

I do try! Take a seat. I don’t have jammy dodgers so can I offer you a cookie?
No thanks, I'm full...of COURSE I'd like a cookie!

Now, there’s a rumour lighting up the internet right now that you have written a book. Is this fact or fiction?
Well it is a fact that I have written a fiction book. I think...

What inspired you to write a book?
The book is an extension of my Blog, Muppets For Justice, hence its name Muppets For Justice. It is a humorous collection of the best articles from my Blog, plus a whole load of new content. Think of it as a greatest hits album with a whole CD full of bonus tracks and unheard B sides.

Having stalked followed your blog for over a year now and having loved reading it, it’s sometimes silly, som…

Twelve Days (It takes two): Day 7

Ryan tried to lift his head from the pillow but it was as though someone had their hand gripped tightly around his brain and with each movement he made they squeezed tighter. “ugh…” “Come on you! Get up! Your parents arrive today and I am not handling them on my own.” “ugh…need…water…ugh” Ryan stayed in bed, unable to open his eyes or move and vowed to never again go drinking with his friend, he knew that he couldn’t handle too much so why did he always let himself get talked into these things. “You should put some cream on that and cover it with something. In case it chafes against your clothes.” “huh?!” Ryan looked up at Sarah as best he could. What was she talking about? Cream? Chafing? He hadn’t fallen on his arse again had he? A wry smile crept its way onto Sarahs face, “Your tattoo…on your buttock..” Sarah laughed and left the room. “wha…” Ryan tried to look at his bum whilst lying on his front and nearly dislocated his neck. It was no use he was going to have t…

Twelve Days (It takes two): Day 6

It was the start of Ryan’s paternity leave and it was 10am and he had only just decided to get up. Sarah had been subtly prodding him by telling him the time every 15 minutes in the hope that he would help her get everything ready for the baby’s arrival. She was fully immersed in her nest building and had already rearranged the lounge 4 times by the time he made it downstairs. “Finally Ryan, at last, about time…I have been waiting for you to get up.” “Wha..what?! I thought you were busy rearranging the lounge?” “I was doing that to keep busy whilst I waited for you.” “Oh, oh right. So what do you need me to do then?” “I’m so glad you asked…here’s the list!” Ryan stared blankly at the piece of paper he now held in his hand, the list seemed to be of a similar length to the Homer’s Iliad, and he didn’t have any idea of where to start first. He pottered about the house on the pretence of getting ready to start on the jobs and as soon as Sarah left to go to her mother’s he picke…
