It was going to be a difficult day
Inspector Johnson knew it was going to be a difficult day, her old nemesis Hutch had escaped from prison. He had fled the country and was now up to his old tricks in France. Extortion and murder, those were his trade, and no doubt these days drug dealing. She was on her way to meet Capitaine Travert, and first impressions always count. Damn the sheep, she was going to be late for the meeting. The day seemed jinxed, even the Eiffel Tower had been hidden by the rain. Then she had laddered her tights, as for the cravat. Damn Hutch.

Indeed jinxed.. but at least it can only improve from that point…
I do hope so, but Hutch has always had away of spoiling her day.
One of those days…wonder if it will go up or down from there.
I hope not, but Hutch has always had away of spoiling her day.
Dear Michael,
Hell hath no fury as a woman with laddered tights. 😉 Not a good day at all. Look out, Hutch.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Damn them all!
I felt the frustration.
It’s not like her, something has really got to her.
Herr irritation shows loud and clear. At least she’ll have good food and wine. 🙂
Good food and wine, that is so true, I let her know.
There are days like that. 🙁
That so true,
Hope she sees the sunshine soon.
Me too. Mike
I think I’d go back to bed…
What a good idea.
I feel for your character. That’s pretty much how I’m feeling today, except my nemesis is a 3 year old!
The days of caring for a three year old for me has long gone, but I remember the challenge well. It’s was a challenge that benefited from sharing.
Made me chuckle, well done.
Glad my story had that effect, thank you. Mike
Ouch! What a day! Well described.
Thank you, Mike
I loved the intrigue of this story, Mike. The sheep blockade came through well, too. I’m afraid I don’t know about “laddered tights and the cravat.” What does it mean?
Great story! Five out of five wool sweaters.
Johnson’s does not like the police forces dress code, she would prefer trousers and as for the cravat it just irritates her. But I should have left the cravat out of the equation it was not needed.
Gotcha. Thanks, Mike!
Interesting story, Mike. Looks like it’s going to be all uphill for the Inspector. Let’s hope things improve. Good writing. 🙂 — Suzanne
I hope so to, she usually settles down to get the job done right,
Some days things are just not meant to go right
That’s very true.
