Chique leave – when you’re just too gobsmackingly cool for one shabby workplace and you need to take a day off to be gobsmackingly cool in the company of other gobsmackingly cool things, such as chaise longues, velveteen smoking jackets, and cheeky short black coffees being drunk by zingy beat poets in frisky little city lanes (or any combination of the above).
In which case I need to be taking chic leave almost daily.
ReplyDelete... and be chic with another clique.
ReplyDeleteChic! Chic! I thought I mispelled it!
ReplyDeleteOh yes..... I scold myself daily that I am not the owner of a smoking jacket. Pray tell, where does one acquire such an item of immaculate luxury?
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's Sikh leave, for when you just can't stop believing in one immortal being and ten gurus.

ReplyDeleteA little vintage shop on Elgin Street. Unfortunately I bought the last one. Mwhahahaha!
Sounds like your visit to Melbourne was an example of Cheque Leave.
