Sinister: Red shoes, no knickers

[Alder, Lucy]

Hello!  I'm home!  (Lucy slams the door behind her, dumps her bags in the
hallway and sits down for a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake before
getting down to the tedious business of sorting out her washing)

I had a lovely week away.  I sipped lemon tea and caught the sun on my
cheeks on a terrace at the edge of Lake Como.  I licked and slurped my way
through all sorts of flavours of ice cream.  I remembered why I was so fond
of old friends.  I shopped until I dropped.  We had a little pole-dancing
competition to liven up a long and tedious train journey and I won
(photographic evidence exists, but I'm telling you now that it will never
appear in the sinister gallery).  My friend and I came to an amicable
agreement that she could have Paolo Maldini and I could have Gabriel
Battistuta (I know he wears an alice band, but those legs make up for it.
Besides, Maldini's cheekbones are freakish and have you seen what his father
looks like?)  We didn't allow ourselves to buy black shoes, so I bought some
bright red mary janes.  We gave ourselves comedy names and laughed when
dirty old men chatted us up.  We kept our real names and smiled sweetly when
dark-eyed boys who smelled nice when you got close chatted us up.  I'm still
in Italy in my head, even though I'm sat at my desk now.  Sigh.

I was a bit worried that the weather would be inclement for the ATP people,
but then I remembered you'd doubtless be spending all your time in the pub,
so what would a little bit of rain or snow matter?  I'm sure you had a
lovely time and I sort of wish I'd been there, but then I'm sort of glad I
was in Italy too, you understand?  I'm not sure I want to think about how
the Sinister team's football legs measure up to Battistuta's.  I'm sure Stu
M's football legs are lovely though.  Does he have legs of sex or is it just
the arms?  Or was it too cold for him to contemplate exposing his limbs to
the elements?

Mark, I'd love to come to your pickernick.  Count me in.  

S'all for now

Juicy Lucy
