Freja and Klara argued over everything. Today it was the bed they’d shared for over a decade. The mattress was too lumpy felt Klara as she tugged it off.
“I’m taking the fucker to the tip!”
Now, the tip was far far away and en route their car, an old Austin Princess, started to smoke. They bickered by the roadside until Freja (sensitive bladder) needed to pee so ducked behind a bush. And there she found three other mattresses!
They both agreed one more wouldn’t hurt.
And so they left it. The car cooled. And they headed to Mattress World.

Good point Drew...'Bubbles' (but now renamed) the one on a hill, toddler blowing bubbles, couple having impromptu picnic & storm approaching. Series called An affair in A-Z, each drabble starts with a different letter of the alphabet so almost certainly someone will be forced to play the xylophone at some point X
