A Wifely Surprise

Last Saturday it’s to the pub, and walk inside the public bar, where I met up with Tommy Judd, who is at time’s a chump galah. Tom was looking smart and slick, in a custom tailored outfit. Too flash to wear in public bars; more suited as a Toorak kit. ‘Where’d you get that fancy clobber?’ I asked Tom and brought a drink. Tom proudly smirked and stated, ‘It’s gifted from my wife I think.’ ‘Yes my wife always surprises me, but from work I came home early, and there they were, my surprise - she’s such a precious girlie.’ ‘I could feel her enduring love, for there’s this custom coat to wear, plus these trousers in our bedroom, and both draped across a chair.

Hello Elizabeth … I agree with you Elizabeth. If someone told you this story I don't know what I'd do, but I certainly wouldn't try to explain what has really happened - thank you Elizabeth - Lindsay

Correct Tom … at least he got some flash clothes out of it. Maybe there was a wallet in the pocket too - thanks Tom - Lindsay
