rainy days

What a wonderful summer. When I am out in the rain my hair reverts to my toddler hairstyle tight curls and frizz....yuk yuk yuk

So you guessed it, in the new courier job 2nd week, and I got wet. Now today in the rain, I had to deliver to this dirty house, well it was a near new house near Buckingham and it made Steptoe & Son's rag and bone yard look like a Palace. 3pm and the painted sheets were covering the windows, posing as curtains, the front door had never been cleaned, the front garden grass never cut, a true blot on the landscape. He came to the door, I held my breath and looked away, minimum contact, yuk yuk yuk. I wanted a Domestos spray, kill all known germs and this dirty git dead.

Anyway it reminded me of life of others as they know it, squalor. I have delivered furniture where bras and knickers and vests and tights were on the floor, in the hall on the stairs and here comes the delivery man tread tread tread. I have been in flats inhabited by Chinese DVD pirates and their pet cockroaches all over the carpets in every room, crunch crunch crunc. The Taxidermist in Milton Keynes, 3 cabinet freezer chest of dead animals, stink stink stink. In fact his house was so bad (he dabbled in fake printer cartridges as a side line)I opened the car window and stuck my head out down the M1 after to get the stench out of the back of my throat, yuk yuk yuk.

Finally..............one of the last deliveries, it reminded me of house hunting once, the psychedelic wallpaper purple and orange, mmmmm, and the well in the garden newts and toads. Yes witches do exist and they look and dress like witches, no broomstick, no pointed hat, but a dark evil sinister mysterious aura, ugly, big nosed, painted ladies showing a lot but not a lot worth seeing.

oooooooooo creepy, exit stage left, foot down on the accelerator, veerrrooommmm

don't come back now, hear !!!
