ICish Narrative:

0650

A light mist had come down on the road that morning. Mrs. Waddle looked out the window onto Wateredge Lane. She sighed. "Peter darling, it's a bit gloomy outside".

Peter Waddle had lived with his wife in No.1a for almost ten years now. He remembers to this day when he was voted in by the people and blessed by His Majesty King Dwight.

He got out of bed and looked out the window too. "Oh yes dear, it is rather."

He also saw the Wateredge penguin waddling past. No one knew where it came from. They can only assume it was a pet once and was released onto the street.

"Martha, I've got a meeting today with some of the ministers and I will be downstairs in my office all morning."

"Okay darling, I'll ask for breakfast to be made."

She exited the bedroom into the upstairs landing. The landing was done with walls of a lavender colour.
There was a mahogany table just outside the door with a picture at the back of Mr and Mrs Waddle on their wedding day. In front of this was a bowl of lavender pot pouris. The fragrance wafted through the air.

Opposite the table was the banister, which went from around near the bathroom door to the other side of the landing and then down towards the 1st floor where the offices were located.

Also downstairs right at the back was a communal passageway which joined all three houses of No. 1 Wateredge Lane.

Martha had a shower. Martha liked to sing in the shower and she did that now.
"I'm all lost in the supermarket, I can no longer shop happily..."

There she was singing, standing upright naked with the lather rushing over with the water as it urged from the shower. She stood there all wet and worked the soap into every crevise before immediately rinsing it out. In went to shampoo. Running her slender hands through her soft brown hair, she worked the shampoo lather in and out. Ducking her head into the stream of water, she rinsed her head of hair. She turned off the tap and shook her head to displace some of the water.

Out of the shower, she rubbed her self down with her mauve towel and wrapped it around her body.
She then wrapped a hand towel around her hair and replaced her slippers.

With steam streaming out the door she exited the bathroom and crossed the landing to the bedroom.

"Peter darling, the bathroom is free"

She went to sit at the dressing table. After she had swooshed her hair down to her back, she leaned over and took a hair drier out of the draw.

Peter had his dress gown on and was crossing the landing for the bathroom.
Shit shower shave. The 3S's. Tonight, he felt it may well be the 4S's.

Plop plop, "Ooo errrrrrrrrrrr oooo errrrrrrr." Straining really hard. Plop. "Aaaaaaaaaah..." he sighed.

Clunk went the shower door and ten minutes later he was out.

zuzz zuzz zuzz zuzz zer zuzz zer zer zer. He replaced the shaver.

Emerging from the bathroom, he passes his wife on the way downstairs.

"Martha, can you tell Paul, that I will want the parliamentary report. There is something in it I need to discuss."

"Okay Peter" as she walks down the stairs.

Brrrring brrrring brrring... Martha picks up the phone.
"Good morning"

"Oh hello Paul, I was just about to pop over"

"Well Peter..., yeah that's it. Good."

"That's um..." she checks her watch "Yeah, that's what I make it too."

"Okay. Will do." She replaces the receiver on the metal stand.

"Peter darling," called Martha up the stairs, "are you ready? Paul is coming over in ten."

He had on his socks, pants and shirt. Hanging on the wardrobe door was his trousers.

"Not quite yet," Peter.

"Okay" Martha.
