Auntie Marilyn is mam’s sister. I told her we were going on holiday to Wales to visit friends.

• I’ve been to Wales with my pal, Pam.
• What part of Wales did you go to auntie Mar?
• Holyhead.
• Sure there’s feck all in Holyhead, what did you do there?
• We went on a day trip to Dublin on  the ferry.
• But you live in Dublin.
• I know that, Bernie.
• So you went on your holidays to Wales and took a day trip back home?
• Yes, it was marvelous.
• but…why?
• As you said, there was feck all in Holyhead. We were so bored, we booked a day trip for a tenner on the ferry.
• Did you know it was going to Dublin?
• Of course we did, we’re not stupid, Bernie.
• Of course you’re not auntie Mar.
• There was a band playing on board. We had a few drinks and a dance. We had a fabulous time.
• So, what did you do when you got to Dublin?
• We did a bit of shopping on Talbot Street. I bought a lovely pair of slacks in Guineys. Pam bought new net curtains for her downstairs loo.
• I’ve heard it all now.
• I would have popped home for a cuppa but we had to be back on the ferry for the return sailing.
• You got the ferry back? Would you not have been better staying put? Sure you only live around the corner from Guineys.
• Don’t be silly Bernie, we still had two days left of our holidays and our return ticket.

God bless auntie Marilyn, she cracks me up  🙂
