Here's To You Mrs Robinson

I am waiting for a chicken to cook. Then I can retrieve it from the oven to cool so I can go out for a walk. Chris is off to London at 1pm,  so I need to get an early lunch ready, he is busy sorting the academic world of research out in his office.
I have been clearing clinkers out of the living room stove.
" ok lads , same again!"

For over twenty minutes Winifred has been trying to seduce George. Her method , me feels, is based on Anne Bankcroft's performance of Mrs Robinson in The Graduate , albeit just slightly more subtle.
Back up to prospective victim
Push vagina slowly into face
Wait for a reaction.
I am sure that this ploy has worked very effectively for her in the past.
George however, unlike Dustin Hoffman, is not interested and has spent the time counting the small green leaf designs on the living room wallpaper.
That's my boy!

Many many moons ago now, I was subjected to a rather florid seduction attempt from an older woman who bore a remarkable resemblance to Joanna Lumley ( well to her alter ego Patsy Stone actually) Luckily I don't remember that much about this unfortunate interlude, (thanks to the mind numbing properties of Gordon's gin) But at least , it can be said that
I have ticked that particular box so to speak....
A box, thank goodness, that I shall not be revisiting anytime soon.

    In my case, she was younger and thought getting me drunk and stoned would turn me into a straight bloke. Might have worked if she wasn't of Greek heritage and so hairy. Nah, it wouldn't have really, regardless.

    1. Why do women always make the wrong choices?

      Is that a sexist question, or just an empirical observation?

  6. If you're waiting for a chicken to cook, you could be waiting for some time. They're not known for helping out in the kitchen.

  11. I thought back to our animals in first heat, before a trip to the vet. Fiona, the Cairn, wasted several days trying to seduce a very puzzled Angus. I do remember all the male cats following Xenia around, though, asking each other if they should be doing something.

  12. There is a bubble coming out of that Scottie's head which I can read quite clearly John. It says "Scottie/Bulldog cross? I don't think so."

  13. Count your blessings that you don't have a Siamese cat in heat. OMG - I remember the pitiful, and painful to the ears, yowls! I got desperate in the night and opened the door to send her out strolling!

  19. When Lulu had her first season she rubbed her rear up against everyone including my father who was eighty at the time.
    It was acutely embarrassing and cringeworthy.

  20. God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson, heaven holds a place for those who pray. Perhaps I shall try out Winnie's seductive method on Willy Dunne Wooters.

    Love,

  22. When I was in my early twenties, an older woman, owner of a local shop, tried to seduce me but I was too intimidated by her worldly-wise air to respond. A pity, I would probably have learnt a lot!

  25. "Back up to prospective victim
    Push vagina slowly into face
    Wait for a reaction."

    No young (or even old) ladies seemed to be aware of that technique when I was around them.

    Maybe it was just something about me.
