I have the house to myself

[Snoopy]

Wife has taken her cold to work, Kids are all at school 'til late and most of my stuff is up to date.

I am going to have a looooooooooooooooooooong soak in the bath 

See you all in an hour or so.

With a book? I always like to read whilst having a long soak.  

[Nick]

He can't hear you.He's submerged

[Snoopy]

I am back ~ refreshed, sweet smelling and clean.

No book, have fallen asleep too often with a book in the bath and woken with a heavy weight on my chest that turned out to be the book I had been reading now ~ sodden and unreadable. Many hours have I spent drying books over radiators and then trying to get the stiffened pages to turn. Why is it that after a dunking your average book, even when dry, is twice as thick as it was before?

[Grumpmeister]

The fibres in the paper have distorted and warped due to being dunked in the bath hound.

Have you considered getting a bath tray. At least then if you doze of the book would be protected. 

[Snoopy]

I confess I dislike bath clutter.
My late mother was a great one for bath trays etc. I always managed to knock them over getting in or out of the tub. Can't be doing with all the fuss.
Just me and my rubber ducky is all I need.

More importantly, have you left a ring around the bath or cleaned it all out after...?

[Snoopy]

Cleaned it ~ though why I bother with the bloody filthy kids I have I don't know.

[Nick]

I blame the parents

Cleaned it ~ though why I bother with the bloody filthy kids I have I don't know.

At least they aren't spotlessly clean tv slugs.

At least they aren't spotlessly clean tv slugs like me.
