Outdoors at night, in a wood, by a roaring fire. The perfect situation for a bit of storytelling. But what to tell? I don't really know any stories, apart from the one about the couple that break down on a shady lane and get into a whole load of shit with a mental man.
Instead I make one up as I go along about a Lincolnshire Penguin who bunks off work and convinces his seal friend to cancel a day with the in-laws to accompany him on a road trip to the Norfolk coast where they end up spontaneously swimming to Holland. There's a hilarious bit where they stop off at Peterborough services and, without telling each other, the seal buys a Penguin chocolate bar and the penguin buys a CD by Seal.
I'm thinking of doing a sequel tomorrow night where they hitch back on a boat owned by Rick Wakeman. Rick doesn't feature. He just happens to own the boat but I think it will definitely give the narrative added interest.
