Recently, we went out for drinkies. Interesting Friend has sold his flat in Brighton and is moving into his inheritance (a house - his father having recently passed away). So that is why Gorgeous Landlord, Cookie, Interesting Friend, Extrovert and Extrovert's outgoing girlfriend were all found in the Neptune supping pints of real ale (or Scrumpy Jack in my case).

As is usual when someone is leaving, the evening turned to nostalgia. They each reminisced about their youthful days. Spoke of each other's flaws and virtues and Extrovert announces loudly

The thing about [Landlord] is he's always good at anything physical

me: [under my breath] I'll say!

silence fell. I blushed. Extrovert had meant sports but cheered, chinked glasses with Landlord and then with me.

Hmm, I may just have raised his standing among his mates. Trouble is, Landlord was too drunk to remember the incident.

Because of the fireworks factory explosion not far from Ringmer, Landlord's office has no power.  He got a call from someone who was on the early shift to say "don't bother coming in. The electricity is off throughout the building. NO point coming in until it's all back online" And that is why I left for work this morning just as Landlord was sinking his teeth into another slice of toast, comtemplating what to do with his day.

Bah

Good news everyone. Gorgeous Landlord is at the office and working, like the rest of us (excpet those of us who are blogging, but fromw here my boss sits, the two look identical)

He just emailed me to say he got an electric shock off the ioniser that sits on his desk. He touched the needle and got zapped. I wonder whether this has permantly added an extra electron to him, or perhaps one for each atom in his body. When he comes home I''m not kissing him until I know he's safe. I may have to wear wellington boots with thick rubber soles before kissing.

We have pondered - if this were a Marvel comic, he'd probably have a superpower now. Wonder what superpower it'll be. My theory: the ability stretch (beyond all normal proportions) his lunch hours. 

So if you could have a superpower - what would it be? Or do you already have one?
