Lucas by day-Duncan by night and Captain Skipjack are overjoyed as confirmation of their holiday cottage arrived in the post today.
Lucas by day-Duncan by night cannot ever recall having a holiday as for a very long time he was shut in one room and not allowed out. He imagines that the holiday will be a time of exciting things, like walks and chasing sticks and lots of hugs and kisses and possibly windsurfing.
Captain Skipjack thinks 'THE SEA' and wonders if a week in Skegness will bring on his scurvy and creaking hips...he decides to pack his sowester and galoshes just in case. He sits in the sitting room darning his socks and wonders if he should mend the nets? This is a holiday he reminds himself, there'll be no nets or the rigging, no work to be done!
And so they stand at the back gate barking and wagging their tails till everyone in the entire neighbourhood wishes that they'd fuck off on their holiday today.
