THE BIRDS WERE SETTLING down for the evening lining up along the power lines and having a final natter by the time they left Harry’s to await their Uber rides home. They exchanged promises to do it again soon and not to leave it so long next time before Saskia’s proclamation, ‘It was a brilliant evening.’ She planted a wine-breath kiss on her friend’s cheek. ‘And we got chatted up. We’ve still got it you know, babe.’

Veronica laughed. Laurel and Hardy had indeed swaggered over. Veronica had an entire onion ring in her gob at the time and had been making mmming noises as to its deliciousness. Saskia had a blob of aioli stuck in the corner of her mouth but they’d been undeterred. Veronica had never been the sort to tell anyone who had the gumption to come up and talk to her to go away or to take the mickey out of them if they were respectful about it. Unlike some of their friends who’d delighted in doing so when they were younger. She thought it was arrogant and to steal her sister’s favourite phrase ‘mean’ behaviour. She’d been unable to stop laughing though at what Saskia piped up with when Laurel had leaned toward her placing a pudgy hand on her thigh to steady himself and through wet lips said, ‘I can’t stop staring at you. It’s the hair, you remind me of someone.’

‘Marg Simpson perhaps? Because you’ve definitely got a look of Homer about you.’
