Well, really. I have no idea what that was all about, but whilst at Hardwick Hall this summer we took a tour of the older, ruined Hall which was replaced by the jaunty number in the previous blog post. As we were ascending a set of stairs to look at some precariously placed plaster decorations, the young man ahead of me suddenly, and with malice aforethought, dropped his pants without so much as a by your leave. It was all done so quickly that MrCat didn’t even notice, and the youngsters ahead continued on their progress with the merest of guilty sniggers to give them away.
The view from the top window was unexpected to say the least
I had two options. Express shock like the middle aged, middle class, middle of the road woman he no doubt took me for, or make some kind of nonplussed comment in the hope of embarassing him in front of his friends.
I leave it to you, dear reader, to decide which route I chose.
This week I have been mainly frantic and on the phone

oooh! PS .. GOOOOOD LUCK with your interviews. Fabulous news!!! xxx Sorry, I was so taken with the bottom story I forgot about the rest!! xxx
What did you say? WHAT DID YOU SAY?
Good luck with the interviews.
Yes! What Coffee Lady said!!
It wasn't something about seeing a "full moon," was it? No. That's too much of a cliche. Perhaps you said something about how nice it was to see young people being "exposed" to so much history?
Hmm. Okay. Now I too am very curious.
Best of luck with your interviews. Congrats on turning those numbers around!
