"Going Astray" drabbles by Neville Hunt

Going Astray #4
Mrs H has always cut my hair. She's not trained in hairdressing in any way other than trial and error. The hair I have, far less than earlier, is curly, so any errors she might make are easily hidden. She doesn't like cutting my hair, but I encourage her to continue as it's free and it's a woman's touch on my head.
My little grandson has started having his hair cut... by Michelle! Lucky little chap.
I suggested to Mrs H that as she hated cutting my hair, I would go to Michelle too.
She immediately reached for the scissors.

Going Astray #3
Michelle owns the tiny hairdressing salon a few yards across the street from our old house. She is attractive, not in the same league as my wife, but on hot summer days, she would sit on the salon step in the skimpiest of summer dresses. She was always friendly. These were reasons enough for me to pop out for frequent trips past her, en-route to the local shop.
Mrs H was unaware of my compulsion until I requested special dispensation to behave badly with Michelle if she should ever invite me (extremely unlikely). Guess what Mrs H said?
Correct!
Dreaming
Going Astray #2
We were talking about dreams. The content of dreams cropped up. Mrs H claimed her dreams were often bizarre but never saucy. I declared that mine were absurd but I was sure that sex wasn’t part of the ethereal mix.
Mrs H quickly responded with “A man’s still a man... I’m sure your dreams are extremely grubby!”
“OK, if all men are sex mad, then perhaps you’ll rethink my dispensation request to countenance me going astray with bouts of wild sex should I ever be lucky enough to dance with a provocative young Russian dancer on Strictly?”
“Dream-on, Neville!”
Dispensation
Going Astray #1
Had a talk with Mrs H today. We were watching Strictly Come Dancing. We talked about the professional dancers while I tried to keep my eyes off the stunning Russian women. They seemed so supple, bendy and beautiful. We discussed the Curse of Strictly and the many celebrities who succumb to unexpected Eastern European temptation.
I made the point (which didn’t go down well) that in the event that I danced up-close for weeks on end with a Strictly Russian beauty, I would probably succumb too.
I requested special dispensation to go astray in that unlikely event.
Permission denied!
