The day started with a ring on the doorbell, we had just finished breakfast, and Kelli went to answer it. I was still in my bed ware, so I rushed off to get dressed.
When I went outside Kelli was talking to a man who introduced himself as from the city.
Apparently he was investigating a complaint about us spraying dangerous chemicals.
The complaint was registered a couple of weeks ago by someone unknown.
I started to seethe inside, some nosey waste of space had snitched on us.
Kelli explained what we did and the equipment we used were no different than a DIYer would use. The investigator understood that, but stressed that it was his job to check out the complaint.
That left us wondering who might have done that, we thought we knew everyone in the Avenue, but obviously there is a low life here and we don’t know who it is, but we will find out somehow.
After he left, Larry walked over, I thought he wanted to know why the city were talking to us, but no it was far more dramatic.
“I’ve been in hospital “ he said, “I had a heart attack”. Apparently a couple of Sundays ago an ambulance had turned up and rushed him to Zeeland hospital. We were both shocked, we had no idea, we hadn’t seen or heard an ambulance arrive, which was so unusual, because we work directly across the road.
Fortunately he recovered, lived to tell the tail, but he will have to be careful from now on.
After all this we had to take a bike ride to get it all out of our system, my vindictive mind still focused on the complainer. By the time our ride was over, I had calmed down, I had things to get on with.
We managed to get a dip in the pool even though it was not as hot as passed days. We joked that the sad person was probably jealous of us for having a pool and new bikes.
“Bollocks to them” I said as we mixed some paint up to spray another dresser.
