Tenement Funster

Muses in Mews Houses...

Roger and Brian headed straight for home.  They lucked out and found the traffic bearable on the drive east.  Relieved since it seemed most people on holiday wouldn't head home until later that night or the next day.  

"Want to find a place to get some food?" Brian proposed as Roger focused on the road.   "Maybe some places in Exeter have power..."  he surmised. 

"Hopefully..."  Roger replied.  The men were silent as they observed the road ahead.  The growing line of cars in front of them.  "That lot back in Devon sure were interesting..."  Roger finally remarked.  Brian smiled at him.

"Yes...I suppose it's easy to see from being with them that money doesn't always mean you're happy..."  Brian commented.  "Trust fund or not...some of them seemed a bit miserable or lost even..."  he pointed out.

"Griff told me he envied me...he said that I at least had some ambition and drive to succeed...he confessed he has never finished any of his musicals...just kids of drifts through life I guess..."  Roger told Brian.

"None of them have actual jobs..."  Brian stated.  "I didn't get the impression they even own alarm clocks or know their bank account balances..."  he estimated.  Roger grinned.

"Yeah...it must be nice though to have a cook or housekeeper..."  Roger dreamed.  Both men smiling at the notion.

"I guess John gets to enjoy that amenity from now on..."  Brian chimed in.  Roger could sense something from Brian about his friend.  He wasn't sure if it was envy or dismay.

"I know you still have some reservations about him being with Freddie..."  Roger voiced.  "He's a nice guy Brian...I really feel like he will treat him right..."   Brian sighed.

"I know...I guess I just feel a kind of protective...a brotherly kind of thing..."  Brian explained.  "He's young and seems so impressionable...immature at times..." 

"Yeah...he is young, but he is old enough to do what he wants..."  Roger reminded him.  "You have to admit his living quarters are much improved!"  Roger said and Brian grimaced.

"I can't argue that!"  Brian agreed.  "Those guys were awful!"  he recalled.    "I just hope Freddie doesn't tire of John and shuffle him off..."  he worried out loud.  

"John could always tire of him first..."  Roger pointed out.  Brian hadn't considered that.

"Point taken..."  he remarked as Roger grinned triumphantly.  

"Let's talk about the rest of this holiday..."  Roger stated to change topics.  "We've still got today and tomorrow..."  he reminded his boyfriend.  Brian ran his hand through his hair. Pondering their options.

"I doubt we could find lodging anywhere if we wanted to go somewhere else..."  Brian considered.  

"The day is still young...we could find something to do and then head back later..."  Roger proposed.  Brian picked up the map to see what was on their way.

"Let's see..."  Brian said out loud as he looked it over.  "We're not going to Bath...that is for certain..."  he remarked as Roger grinned at him.  Knowing they wanted to avoid Brian's client and his daughter.  Roger suddenly remembered something he had seen on the drive down.

"Let's go to Stonehenge!"  Roger proposed in an excited voice.  "I've never been and I've always wanted to see it!"  he told his boyfriend.  Brian shrugged indifferently.

"Okay..." he agreed.  It was something to do and Roger seemed keen on it. 

"Have you ever been?"  Roger questioned.
