Thinking of lips made me realise that I had only done one ditty for this week. I have to do two! That is the target I set myself.

Was just about to set off to the pool this morning (it is now Saturday) when my sister yelled at me.

“There’s another of your women on the phone!”

It was her, it was she, it was Lucy! She said, “Sally Tomato, you are not supposed to put your phone number on a Valentine card.”

I said, “How did you know it was me?”

“I’m not daft,” said Lucy.

I said, “Did you get loads?”

“Might have,” she said.

I think she must have done. But she knew which one was mine!

“I was just ringing,” she said, “to say that if you want, you can meet me in the shopping centre and buy me a Coke.”

Bliss bliss bliss! I couldn’t believe it … she was asking me to go out with her!

I dumped my swimming things, nicked another blob of my sister’s foaming face cleanser and went steaming off to the shopping centre. While I was waiting for Lucy I tried thinking of things that I could talk to her about, so that I wouldn’t embarrass myself by having nothing to say. But then the minute she appeared I became, like, totally tongue-tied.

Hey! That’s another one. Tongue-tied.

We went and I bought us both a Coke and I still couldn’t think of anything to say, I mean I just didn’t know what to talk to her about. I was starting to get really twitchy in case my mouth suddenly opened of its own accord and said something obscene, like, “What cup size are you?”
