POSTMAN CAT

Much like last year, my Mom came running up the stairs to where I was lying down on the settee with a wet towel over my eyes. What I thought was a hangover is in reality actually a migraine. I've not had one for about 20 years.C'est non bon.
So, Im lying there in the dark as she explains that the polling cards she delivers, need to be delivered by the end of the day.....and she's going to see Riverdance tonight.So she roped in me and Lindsay to do it too.

So, thats what I've been doing, me and the beagle.

People really should be made to have house numbers. That was slighty annoying.

It was quite uneventful.

An old lady came out to ask me what day it was, I told her Thursday 12th and she looked confused and said she wasn't well. Then she invited me in. I told her I would but I was in a hurry to post all of my cards, then I thought she was going to cry.She was East European and I couldn't quite undertand her. She said she didn't want everyone to watch her(there were some random old birds out chewing the proverbial, further down the road.) So I went in her house and she lead me in to the front room and said she had been unwell and didnt know what day it was. She showed me her TV guide from the Daily Mail. She had it on Friday. So I put her right with Thursdays listings and put her calendar to April. I declined her offer of tea and wished her well. She then tried to give me her microwave which was a little strange but I managed to leave emptied handed. Then I got really sad thinking of the lonely old lady who had to talk to the polling card posting girl with the red eye who was in too much of a hurry to have a cup of tea.

It didn't last long, soon I posted two to this house, one guy was called Attila and the other one Carlos. I don't know why but it made me chuckle.I've never met a gay guy called Attila.

The coolest one was to that house which is off the left off Oxford Road. It used to be a junk shop. I should have taken a picture, the entrance to it was ace. Infact I loved the whole noseyness of what I got to do today.

So yes, now I have house/married with kids envy.
