Covent Garden Flowrs: Thursday 11/20
Today if you'd been in her flat above the shop, you'd have caught Eliza sleeping in a bit late, because who wants to be out in this cold when you can be snuggling under an eiderdown?
Of course, if you'd been in Eliza's flat above the shop and caught her sleeping in, she'd have screamed bloody murder loud enough that she wouldn't even have to ring the police and thanks to her renowned scratching abilities you might be missing both eyes to go with your burst eardrums, so it's best for all concerned that she simply got a lie-in, and opened the shop closer to noon than was entirely respectable.
She made up for that lack of gentility by wearing her gloves even behind the counter. All manners, that, not at all because it was so sodding cold there was an icicle hanging from the wire E in the sign over the door.
The one in the window read:
Covent Garden FlowErs
*Come on in and warm up! Maybe you'll find something pretty while you're here.*
Eliza Doolittle, prop.
Fresh flowers from nosegays to bouquets!
Delivery available upon request.

I could have slept all night
But instead I stayed up til four.
I could be wide awake,
But I'm sleepy and want cake
And work is quite the bore.
I'll never know what made me such a moron,
Why I went out for chili cheese fries at two.
I only know they were yummy
Despite their lingering effect on my tummy,
With which I won't traumatize you.
