Divegirl's Story

[mrs_overall]

When Mr and Mrs Girl produced a daughter, they consulted a book of old Celtic names and eventually decided to call her Dive. She suffered years of torment at school as the correct pronunciation of her name was "Divvy".
The Girl family were scrap metal dealers and expected Dive to carry on the family business. Her parents were due to buy her her own horse and cart as an 18th birthday present when her life took an unexpected turn. After a lunchtime session in the pub, a drunken Dive was making her way home when she slipped and fell in the river Cess. She had a brief glimpse of the river bed and saw several car exhausts, a bike and a safe. She hurried home to tell her parents who immediately appointed Dive as the family member responsible for underwater scrap collection. She was hurriedly sent away to complete a course and for her 18th birthday received a wetsuit. She cobbled together a set of SCUBA equipment from an old Hoover Junior and various bits of tubing and car parts from the scrap yard. In the dead of night she scoured the bed of the river Cess and her finds contributed handsomely to the family coffers.
The day came when there was nothing left to retrieve, but as one door closed, another opened. Dive fashioned a rubber fin from an old car tyre, strapped it to her back and spent hours in the river just below the surface as The Previously Undiscovered River Cess Dolphin. Crowds came from far and wide hoping for a glimpse of the dolphin and threw coins into the river for luck.
As she was scrabbling on the river bed retrieving coins one day, her eyes grew wide as she came across a body shaped package, bound up with Post Office issue wrapping and tape.

Hi LadyJ. How are you? Great theatre tonight. Front row at the Old Rep in Birmingham where a friend is the lighting engineer. Super play...Our Country's Good. If you can do see it. Nothing happened til the end. We stayed on for one of those cast/writer/director chats so I decided to get a glass of red and settle back. I know I put my seat down...I really did so god knows where it was when I sat down in front of everyone. But it wasn't under my bum....Gness sat on nothing....legs in the air and red wine straight down the boobs. Nice round of applause though. :-)
