Drive-In Saturday

My Dear Fellows and Dear Princess,

Tonight we had organised for Loulou and Tiger and Joshua to come over to watch the best film in the world ever. 

If you need me to remind you, it is this. It surprises me that so few people know this film. None of our guests tonight knew it, and of course they all loved it.

I made nachos and guacamole to go with the film, and downloaded drive-in theatre adverts and intermission clips. So it was a good, fun evening.

But it wasn't all about the movie. We also discussed grown up things like politics, house prices and bum shaving. 

"Whoah!" I'm sure you are saying. "What's that about house prices??"

Yes, that's right, we are thinking we may be getting close to being able to buy a house in Wellington environs. Probably around April next year. Tiger and Loulou live on the Kapiti coast, and while it engenders a bit of a commute (around an hour) we think this could be the way to go for us as well.

But wait! Is that you saying you want to hear about bum shaving? Gosh, I am surprised.

So the story starts with Feefs. Now that she has lost a lot of weight, she is looking at improving other things about herself and she is starting with her lady garden, and the grooming thereof.

She's having some sort of laser treatment to zap away all of the undergrowth, giving her the Bruce Willis look down there. However, it turns out that in order to - I want to say "get in there" - the beautician said that Feefs has to shave her bum before she comes in for the appointment. 

It's not easy. This is because you have to get RIGHT in there. You need to basically pull the two halves of your bum in two different directions at the same time so you can ensure you cover the entire area. 

"How many hands does this woman think I have??" asked Feefs.

This was after she'd got in trouble with the beautician for only doing half a bum before her first visit*.

"I know it is difficult," the beautician advised. "So you'll need your husband to help you."

"I don't even FART in front of him," said Feefs. "If he saw me like THAT I'd have to divorce him."

Long story short. Caro is going up to the Bay of Plenty next week to see Shetland Dad on his birthday. Guess what she's been volunteered to do while she is there?

Naturally, all of our friends found this topic of conversation extremely enlightening and stimulating. "When will you be going up there?" asked Loulou. "By which I mean... the Bay of Plenty, not... you know... UP there."

So there you have it. An artistic film and sophisticated chat. I feel like such a grown up.

S.

* She also got in trouble for letting out a distressed squeal on her first appointment.

"Could you keep it DOWN please?" said the beautician. "We don't want to disturb the other patients, do we?"

"I'm not sure about that," said Feefs to Caro later. "I think the people have a right to know."
