I mean, who has time, right?
Badgers; the bedrock of my blog. Enjoy.
Ignore Any Quiet Knocking
This morning was a bit of a chore.
I was waiting for the gasman to arrive so he could do a safety inspection of my meter. I had a morning slot booked, sometime between 8am and midday; a long and boring morning, unless you'd find it inconvenient for them to arrive early.
I've no wisdom on the subject of the gasman, but here's some advice for anyone who's due to do this anytime soon; ignore any quiet knocking on your back door, even if it becomes insistent.
And if you do investigate, never agree to play poker with badgers.
The gasman arrived at 11:59.Half an hour earlier and I wouldn't be in the hole for three watermelons and a crate of worms.

Three watermelons and a crate of worms... BAHAHAHA! And yes, that's how the "gas man" operates over here, too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the gasman, the plumber, the electrician, the builder... =) Jayne, thanks for your stalwart support this week, it means the world to me x
DeleteHahaha! "And if you do investigate, never agree to play poker with badgers."
ReplyDeleteHey Jaleh! Welcome to the blog, FaceBookBud! This was a quiet day In Cambridge, but there's always something going on... Indigo
Delete"Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!"
ReplyDeleteHeh, indeed. And we're not even in Acapulco!
DeleteTho for the record, the local Clan/Brock all have impeccable hygiene; young Dantoo smells like a bouquet of roses in a bubblegum factory.
The badgers cheat. It's obviously done with those x-ray sunshades the chap on the left is wearing.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't normally allow "cheaters", but they both had eye infections, apparently. Bless.
