262. A bath


It's the weekend. You've been running around all day doing jobs and chores, so you've earned a long hot bath. A magazine, maybe a cheeky glass of something cold and bubbly, and lots of scented bubbles.

The magazine provides entertainment and distraction while your muscles relax. The cheeky glass of bubbly needs no explanation but will provide a nice counterpoint to the heat. And the bubbles save you having to look at your naked body.

Herself sees having a bath as a kind of necessary torment, but I come from a family of bathers, and love having the time to soak in a hot bath. I'm sure it's really bad for my skin and nails and all that but it's not like I do it everyday. And sometimes we all need a few minutes to ourselves, in the peace and quiet, with just bubbles for company. Bring on the weekend!

  1. i grew up in a family where you got the bathwater depending on your pecking order in the family (firstborn=OK). youngest bro - dirtiest thus last = best option.

    I love me a bath and when the BF has bought you some super nice bath bubbles for a treat there is literally nothing better.

    i enjoy a magazine, wrinling in siti. and frankly, those who don't agree with evening bathing and think it is 'stewing in your own dirt, i say try again. it is fab.
