Just a little British whimsy. A humorous slant on an autobiographical memory of linked events during my married life. 95% real, 5% literary license. You may find reading my profile adds some context and answers some question that may arise.

"Take one, three times a day, again." my doctor said.
"This is the ninth time I've treated you for this" he continued, "you need to think about cause and prevention Jane, don't you?" he added more sternly.
"Yes Doctor," I replied, feeling a little miffed at the veiled rebuke.
He was a good doctor. We had been registered with him since we married and moved into the area over 30 years ago. He was new to the practice then, so all new patients were added to his list as the 'regulars' wanted to only see the established GPs.
As I walked home from the surgery I got increasingly irritated at what had been said to me. My throat infection couldn't be my fault, I hadn't had sex for a month, and I only get chance for passionate kissing with my fwb sex partners, which had only started in the last few years, so that wasn't the cause either.
At home, I made a pot of coffee and went up to our bedroom to lie down and enjoy it with a book. I was alone in the house, my husband at work and the kids had all moved out now. It was lovely to have the freedom, but a little lonely at times.
As I poured my second mug of coffee, and swallowed my first dose of my prescribed course of antibiotics, my mind started wandering. I had just finished a chapter of 'passionate tomfoolery' and felt some warmth between my legs, an indication of how involved I get in the plot when I read.
My eyes had closed and I was gently stroking my stimulated area. Nearly an hour had passed when the feeling hit me. I need a pee, NOW! I ran into the en-suite, hurriedly disguarded my panties, lifted my skirt and landed on the loo just as my bladder opened.
As the hot liquid poured out I cursed the effect these antibiotics have on me, an immediate and irresistible need to pee. Every time, this is the ninth as my doctor kindly reminded me, I get this sudden need, no growing feeling, just an instant sensation and uncontrollable need.
At home this is merely inconvenient but when I'm out it can cause major issues for me.
I wiped myself, flushed, went to pull up my panties, but they were no longer fresh after my time of happy thoughts. I dropped them in the wash basket, washed my hands, and returned to laying back on my bed.
My mind returned to and reviewed those times of instant need and the embarrassing situations I ended up in.
The first time was during my parents Ruby Wedding Anniversary Party, about 25 years ago. Family and friends gathered at my old family home, oversized for just the two of them now that my siblings and I had long flown my parent's nest.
It was a lovely evening. I was chatting to one of my parent's neighbours when I felt the intense need to wee. I hastily excused myself, ran upstairs to the bathroom. It was locked "Oh hell" I thought running back down stairs to the other loo. That was occupied too. I couldn't hold on, my parents en-suite was too far upstairs, I was next to the utility room.
The sink in the corner!
I hoisted my dress hem and lowered my posh party panties in one movement. My back to the sink, I pushed my bum up and over the rim as pee escaped. It was a porcelain Belfast sink, deep enough to avoid much splashback, but echoed as my pee hit the hard surface.
Fortunately the room was away from the party's populous. I was feeling safe, my urge almost relieved when, "What on earth......" my mother's voice tailed off as she held her face in her hands staring at the 'disgraceful' sight of her 34 year old daughter, mother of two, perched over her sink having a pee with the house full of her friends and our family.
I had finished and jumped down, feeling mortified, not about peeing, but at being caught by mum doing 'the unmentionable'. I was even more shocked at what happened next.
