Oh hello, I didn’Â’t see you there. I just came in to check the curtains were drawn in the blog – itÂ’s pretty chilly out there and I didnÂ’t want the place to get cold.
Sorry ? No, stay as long as you like – IÂ’ll just potter around for a minute, then IÂ’’ll leave you in peace. Yes, they arrived safely – the Princess is most pleased with her loyal subjects in Cork. Apparently she got to go on a Bob the Builder car outside the supermarket… no, one of the ones for kids where you put a coin in.
The weather ? Bucketing, apparently – same as Brussels. But they’Â’re having a good time, as far as I can tell. Her grandparents are delighted to see her and the Princess is eating vast amounts.
Me ? Oh, IÂ’’m fine. Yes, it might seem as if I had a week of freedom – but it’Â’s still a bit grim when you come back to an empty flat. Well, since you ask I did go out to the pub last night but it was still a school night so I was home by 10.30Â… Anyway, IÂ’’ll let you get on with it.
Sorry ? Well, I might look in tomorrow but I donÂ’t know if it would be a good idea to change too much.
What do you mean by “just a bit ?”
I see. – I donÂ’t know if that would be a good idea …Well, yes, obviously I could keep things ticking over, but itÂ’s her blog and I’Â’d feel nervous…update Lazy Jack Silver ? Who sent you ? What do you want from me ? Get out !
A post! My life has meaning again!
Don’t think that I’m not watching you. My spies are everywhere. Pick up that dirty glass.
And be careful where you put your feet – there are priceless drafts of Booker-prize-winning novels all over the place, you know! 
Hmmm… Mrs Waffle doesn’t do it like that.
Mr Waffle
Mr. Waffle has just been let back in. It was raining out there. I am not entirely heartless.

I’m here in the public domain at all times – no sneaking about under cover of darkness here. No sir. And I’m not sure I appreciate the use of quotes around ‘hot’ either – anyone would think you don’t quite believe that jack…Anyway waffle, when do you leave? Or have you left? In which case I’m talking to myself….ahem… *sidles away* Beth(Homepage)on 16 November 2004 at 18:03 You take more vacation than anyone I know – although being American that isn’t saying much. *jealous* poggleon 17 November 2004 at 14:10Is that wise, waffle? I mean, is he tidy? Or is he likely to laze about drinking all your booze and leaving dirty glasses and plates all over the place? belgianwaffleon 28 November 2004 at 15:06I’m back. I fear poor LJS suffered in my absence but otherwise all seems well.. jackdaltonon 28 November 2004 at 17:02See… you weren’t missed at all 😛 belgianwaffleon 01 December 2004 at 22:05JD, hmm.
