“Dunno…” Charlie replied, glancing at the time. “I don’t usually start my afternoon chores ’til about 4.00pm which gives us the best part of two hours. We could watch TV maybe.” he suggested. “What time do you have to home?”
“Mum said tea-time, which I guess is around six.”
“Is she coming to get you?”
“I hope so… I don’t fancy walking home like this.” Mike replied. “So… what do you normally do in the afternoons?” he asked after a brief silence.
“Depends… watch TV, surf the net, pop into town, visit someone…” Charles replied. “…and get changed.” he added. Mike offered to step outside if he wanted to change, but Charlie declined. “You’re stuck in your dress so I may as well keep mine on. I might take off my pinny though.”
