Poor Harry

Poor Harry

A great friend came to stay overnight. Arrived early and we all went out to lunch, we are at that stage where people have nanna naps.
 So H went to bed and Mark had a rest, shock'n awful headache.
H came upstairs and we were chatting, next thing my mobile rings and it's from Home.
I'm thinking "Why on God's earth is Mark ringing me from the bedroom?"
I pick up the phone, Mark is whispering saying "Are you alright?"
Response "Yes!"
"I can hear a strange gay, male voice, are you safe?"
"It's H you idiot, and if you think I'm in trouble why didn't you come out and save me?"
"I thought it was better to call, then I would ring the police and charge out with my gun?"
We don't have a gun.
We then go to dinner, run into several friends, say g'day, sit down, eat, Mark shoots up like he's been electrocuted and H and I think he says, "My headache is awful am going for a walk".
After 20 minutes and we've had those stupid conversations when you both  talk rubbish pretending everything is fine. Finally I say to H, where the fuck's Mark? H then leaves to find him.
I'm now sitting in a very small restaurant surrounded by old friends looking seriously desperate and dateless.
H returns having found Mark in the car nursing a headache.
We go home.
Mark goes to bed, H has a cigar outside, I take the dog out.
Come back lock up the house, forget about H and lock him out.
After a while I'm thinking, oops where's H?
He's outside and very cold.
H is let in and we do serious damage to a lovely bottle of Dewars.
Forgot to say H hates cats.
We have a serious cat.
Now we come to breakfast. H prepares a delicious sandwich with some left over fillet steak. Leaves it for a bit. (Are you with me?)
Comes back to the kitchen, Thomas, the cat, has eaten his sandwich and vomited it back up on H's plate with a fabulous little bit of saliva as a garnish.
What a night.
Poor H.
