In November I arrived on my own, in the middle of nowhere, County Leitrim.
Due to my remote location and Covid I didn't see a soul for the first few weeks here.
Then one morning, frightening the shit out of me, there was a knock on the door.
An elderly gentleman, a farmer I would guess, was standing in the doorway smiling.
"Hello I'm Patrick, your nearest neighbour, I live 5 miles that way" he said pointing across the fields.
"Hello" I replied "I wont shake your hand, what with all this Covid malarky".
He nodded, and we both reflected for a moment on what an odd world we were currently living in.
"Anyways" said Patrick
"I thought Id come over and invite you to a Party, with everything that's going on I would understand if you said no, but I thought with you being on your own and all it might be something that your interested in"
"normally I would say no, but do you know what, Fuck it, I'm fed up of sitting in this house on my own day after day "I replied "Id love to"
Patrick smiled, removed his cap and looking from side to side to check that there was nobody else around ?? said
"Now I must warn you there will be lots of drinking at this party and probably some drugs"
"That's ok " I said "I'm well used to all that"
Then Patrick said "With all the drinking and drugs, it could end up very...you know...sexual"
I laughed and said " that's ok, that doesn't bother me"
"with all the drinking and drugs and the sex, god knows what might happen, it might end up that there's quite a bit of fighting at the end of the night" said Patrick now blushing slightly
"Don't worry about me Patrick, I'm a big lad I can look after myself" I said laughing
"Good, Good" he said "shall i say my place at eight, no need to bring anything only yourself"
"Brilliant" I replied "is there any dress code" I asked
"oh wear what you like" replied Patrick "it only be the two of us"
