This is her masterplan:
- Convince unwell husband (man flu) to take a break and go into a nice hot shower to clear his chest, get clean, and feel better.
- Wait until you can actually hear that he is completely under the shower and has probably got a hair full of shampoo, and then...
- TURN THE WASHING MACHINE ON so that he is left, eyes full of stinging soap, in a high pressure jet of suddenly freezing cold water
- Listen in quiet satisfaction to him howling wordlessly at the injustice of it all.
She seemed so nice when I met her. Patient. Kind. There were no signs of psychotic behaviour at all...
