Clean Windows & Pearly Gates
Track of the day Rock this Town - Brian Setzer.
The little guy walked round the side of the house carrying a ladder.
Burglar, I thought and went for him. After a lengthy exchange, it became clear that he had arranged with Mrs B. to come and clean the windows. Either she had decided not to tell me or I had forgotten. At any rate he left and never came back.
That was at least five years ago and during the intervening period I have got used to living in perpetual gloom. This afternoon that all changed. A much larger man came and scraped off most of the generations of grime. I say most of because he couldn't get to two of the windows. He says I'll have to prune the holly bush. Perhaps Mrs B. can find a man who prunes holly.
The trouble with windows that are clean on the outside is that they show up the dirt on the inside.
