Auntie Margaret sent me a text, she was my way on Friday and could she pop in and catch up, we hadn't seen each other since cousin Val's wedding, and that was last year. Friday was good for me; I was working one of these new idea four day weeks. Longer days, shorter lunches, and the forty hours normally done in five days, was now spread over four, but, at least I had a longer weekend, and Friday was a good day to see Auntie.
Friday came, and instead of a nice lie in, I was up early cleaning the house and making sure that the bins were empty and that no food packages were on sight, and that all dirty crockery and cups had been cleaned. I did have the windows open to air the place, but after thirty minutes I shut them, it was still winter, and the incoming air was too darn cold for open windows.
Auntie arrived just before lunch carrying a bag from a supermarket.
"I have brought lunch," she said after we had embraced and said out hellos. "I got some sushi and some sandwiches. Unless you are vegan. If you are vegan, then I have brought my lunch which, if you don't mind, I shall eat in front of you whilst you munch on some spinach leaves or whatever the hell it is that vegans eat.
I laughed loudly, "Oh God, no Auntie, I eat anything, no way I could survive being a vegan. I did try it one day, but when I opened my fridge in the morning, the bacon waved at me. I didn't last beyond breakfast."
Auntie howled and followed me into the kitchen. She emptied the contents of her bag into the kitchen table as I filled the kettle ready for tea. There was salmon sushi, pulled pork wraps and bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches.
"Plates?"
"In the cupboard on the right of the sink. How do you want your tea?"
"Normal, leave the bag in, milk, no sugar, mug or cup, don't care."
I grabbed two mugs and added a tea bag to each whilst Auntie Margret shared the food out across the plates. The kettle boiled and so I added hot water, stirred and mashed, and then added some milk.
"Lap or table," She asked.
"Lap is fine, grab your tea and plate and we'll sit in the lounge."
Auntie M put all the now empty wrappers in the supermarket bag, "I'll let you bin it later," she said as she grabbed her lunch and followed me to the lounge. I wondered what her real reason for the visit was.
"How's Uncle Phil?" I asked, "I haven't seen him much later either."
"No? I am surprised, as he does tend to like the pretty ladies, I would expect him to be here often."
Nice back handed complement I think, "well, he would need a reason to visit I guess."
"I am not sure that he would need a reason, certainly not a plausible one."
Interesting.
"Well, I haven't seen him since the wedding either. Do you suspect him of something?"
"Oh no, not really, he is just a bit flirty in female company. I don't think he is being a naughty boy. If I had evidence I would cut his bollocks off, and I don't have enough cause to even keep a pair of sharp scissors to hand."
Oh. Okay. The way the conversation had started I had expected to be hearing tales of Uncle Phil's misdemeanours, but no. "Gosh Auntie, that's a bit extreme."
"Well, he promised them exclusively to me when we got married, so, I think if he shared them with someone else, then I would have a right to them."
"Okay then. Well, I can't say mush for that, so far, I haven't promised my bits exclusively to any one, so no one has a cause to be claiming bits of my body."
"Good, spread it far and wide whilst you can, that way, when you do find the right guy, or girl, then you will know what, if anything you are missing, and so you won't miss it, if you know what I mean."
"Oh yes Auntie I do, and it will be a guy. I mean I like girls and all, but it will be a guy for my life partner. I can't imagine settling down to a life of only tacos without sausage, if you get my drift."
She laughed. I was still unsure for the reason for her visit, it all seemed a little surreal.
"Anyway, I wanted to ask you a favour," she said. Oh, here we are, the reason.
"Ask away Auntie."
"I am going to Lithuania for about a week next month, just a bit of a mummy make over, a spot of cosmetics, and I wondered if you could keep an eye on Phil for me, you know, pop over and do the odd meal, that sort of thing. He is good about most things, just absolutely rubbish in the kitchen and he will just end up living on takeaways."
"Oh, right, yes that should be okay."
"I can make up the spare room for you, so you could stay if you didn't fancy all the travelling to the other side of town, up to you, and I will give you my Waitrose account details, so you can organise some home deliveries if you want, or you can just get Phil to take you to Aldi round the corner and he can pay."
"Should be no problem Auntie, just let me know when you will be away and I will make sure Uncle Phil is okay, what about when you get back?"
"Oh, that will be fine. I can direct him in the kitchen, so no worries there."
So, there we have it, can I go and cook for Uncle Phil for a week whilst Auntie M goes and gets a boob job or a tummy tuck or whatever she is having. I can do that, they have Sky Movies, so I can catch up on a few films that I have yet to see.
The time came all too quickly. I had arranged to work from home, and home would be Auntie M's house. After work had finished for the day, I packed a suitcase dresses, skirts, tops, undies etc and headed off.
"Hello sweetie," Uncle Phil said when I got there, "Margaret is just upstairs finishing packing, go on up and dump your bag. I'll put the kettle on."
