Funny Tale for a Sunny Day

I’m working from home today, which is nice because it means I get to sit here in my shorts and enjoy the sunny weather. Working from home on a Tuesday can come with a little bit of a challenge as well and that’s our Window Cleaner. He’s a nice guy, but doesn’t seem to understand that I am working from home not here to keep him company.

Anyway, today he came to the door (wanting his money) so I did my usual thing which was to go downstairs and to explain to him that I didn’t have any cash on me and he would (as usual) have to wait until this evening when the cash holder of the family would indeed have some money. And then he started; “Oh dear” I thought, “what’s today’s tale”.

Well it turns out that it’s warm work cleaning windows today, so he had decided to cool himself down by showering himself with the hose pipe in my back garden. Unfortunately the plastic hose pipe had been sat in full sun all day and rather than cooling him down it sprayed boiling water all down the back of his neck. It looked really sore. I must admit to a quiet little chuckle though.
