A Right Giraffe

My Dear Fellow,

I am on a present-giving hot streak. Hot on the heels of the well-received handbag, I followed this up with a successful gift-giving to Princess Normal.

I have NEVER seen anyone so excited to receive a Giraffe Onesie. The Princess explained that giraffes are her favourite animal. Therefore the packet had to be cracked open right there in Henrick's and Princess Normal was transformed into a giraffe right in front of all the patrons. The bartender was delighted. 

Sadly, it had to come off before dinner was served. The Princess was getting too hot. "I considered taking off my normal clothes and keeping the onesie on," she confessed. But she is a refined chick. 

She then sent a pixt of herself as giraffe to her daughters and husband. One of the daughters reacted in horror. "She's already thinking that I'm going to pick her up from swimming as a giraffe."

So we had a great night as usual. The Princess can make me laugh like few other people (yourself and Er Indoors are the two others). She is a wonderful storyteller and has no filters. 

Princess Normal noted this and said, "I'm a right laff." Then amended it. "I'm a right giraffe-laff." Still not good enough. "I'm a gi-laff."

She most certainly is.

It is now after midnight and normally by this time I have wilted. But tonight I am energised. Good craic does that for you. Everyone should have a giraffe for a best friend.

El P.
