Upstairs a head

I left them for a couple of days...the garden is looking even better now than it did before Andy messed it up.I think he is probably quite good at what he does.It's 3am now and no-one is awake.The hallways have been swept and polished I wonder who did that.Saves me on the cleaning bill.I don't want to disturb anyone so I just quietly look in on them.Andy is in bed with his arm around a garden rake...Strange but not unheard of,Pieter is sitting in a chair with a glass of Vodka in his right hand and snoring in time to the kitchen clock which is on his lap.Desdemona is atop her bed dressed in a tutu and black ballet shoes, in her ham sized left hand she is clutching a wand with a seven pointed star atop.What the hell does she dream of..I must ask.I look in on Father and Father Father is kneeling before the fireplace hands in prayer.eyes closed but I can see his lips moving..I can also see a pile of collection plates and piles of money on the table both notes and coins..Flippin nice if I get raided by the clerical cops.Lastly I look in on Martha and as I guessed she doesn't disappoint almost naked just wearing enough to cover her modesty and asleep on top of the duvet.I stand a while(an hour or so) just to make sure she doesn't roll over and fall off.Mmmm.Another cold shower beckons.Next visit soon or even sooner if soon doesn't come soon enough.

Andy the garden destroyer.

Nathaniel the old gardener would cry if he could see the garden now..(of course he could never see the garden because he was blind) I popped in last night to see if all was well,It was quiet so quiet.So I padded around for a while then found them all in the garden or what I used to call the garden.It's gone, tarmac and cobbles have replaced what was my pride and joy.And that dozy pillock Andy stood with a grin like a cheshire cat saying "Good innit".Good you  flipping pile of manure you've destroyed it.He can't see what's wrong.So he is going to return it to how it was or I told him I would run over him several times with his motormower.24 hours and I'll be back.The others seem stunned I am so upset I hardly noticed Martha has the shortest of short Baby doll nighties on and being so upset I hardly noticed at all how deliciously shaped her long slender legs are or how the curves of her breasts push against the fabric of her nightwear.the way the light shimmies off her painted nails,no I am so upset I hardly noticed that at all and it took twenty minutes to hardly not notice that.I will be back.Must have a cold shower.

The triumphal appearance.

21 minutes after nine one day late and a bloody great smile on her face..Mmmmm...Mmmmmm Oops did I just Mmmm out loud ?sorry, My lord she is a looker a gas fired cooker.I let her in and now we begin I know and she has always known this day will come I show her to room number one and I have to leave for fear of shaming myself also a slight fear that Mad Maria may be watching.The day next day is another day.I can't wait.

Pieter

And only now he turns up,Like I really care I was only waiting for Martha but that's always the story with beautiful looking women you just have to wait.Make no mistake I gave the two of them 4 hours to arrive 4 hours ago and I swear if she isn't here in another 4 hours I shall seriously have to consider whether I can possibly give her more time...Bloomin' inconsiderate that's what I call it.My good friend Chumley Warner would not like this situation.However Pieter has arrived cricket bag tucked under his arm like a set of bagpipes and a big hessian sack in which I assume he carries his possessions ,Strange ,Most people I know use bin liners,Well I've let him in but I just had to tick him off and tell him the importance of Punctual timekeeping,He just gave me a vacant look I do hope he is not on Medication that was not mentioned in his CV.Time will tell anyway sod him where's the nice looking girl (he says pretending not to look out of the window)..Later folks...

Andy.

Ha,So the gardener arrives with a hand or two filled with profuse apologies.It seems he had to hitch a lift to London from somewhere up North ( a bit cagey on saying exactly where) and as he has two hands on one arm it appears he was thumbing with the wrong hand and ended up two hundred miles further North before he realised.(no i don't believe it either) room number three for him.He starts work this afternoon the grass needs cutting the hedges,well you know how gardens grow and grow.No sign and not a word from the other two if I do not hear from them in the next four hours they are out before they even got in.And shut that bloody trombone up it's giving me a headache.

Even later non arrival.

I am now seriously miffed .No phone calls no messages and three tenants missing and to make matters worse that dimmo upstairs is playing his trombone,If he isn't careful I'll show him a tune on it not to be repeated.I shall keep you updated but I think this is  a late one.

Late Arrivals

Well what did I expect?military precision.I don't care about Pieter or Andy but where the hell is Martha?She is the rabbit to catch the hares...( and i would not mind being a hair tickling her back) thinks I said that to myself.
No sign of them.typical bleedin' madmen and women you just can't set your clock by em.When they arrive I shall let you know.

Arrival number two.

Desdemona has arrived in an old Singer chamois wow I have not seen a car like that since the last time I saw noddy on telly.How on earth did she manage to get in there...oh I see in and out through the roof. Well what the hell is she holding?Find out in the later posts...ps she gets room number 5.

Arrival.

Father...Father has arrived soaked to the cassocks with a big smile on his face and carrying a trombone.Oh Jeez.
He has asked me to pay the taxi for him he can kiss my holy communion And out from his cassock he pulls a collection plate full of coins and notes.This Father needs watching. So I have shown him room number 4 which he appears to like..A bloody good job because that's the room he is getting.I am leaving him because I hear a car pulling up outside

Residents

They will be arriving soon I can already see the dark clouds gathering and  hear the winds howling.Oh what joy...irony..Madness is such a mad thing.Catch you later with news.

Occupation

.Well I made my choice or the choice was made.The new occupants are, In no particular order because we don't want fights later on are...

1 A defrocked yet still wearing a frock Priest.Goes by the name of Father yes it could have been a longer name but that's all he said.When I told him he was moving in he blessed me and gave me a tin of sardines in chilli pepper sauce.

2.Martha felicia atumbe.Well there is always a good looking girl in my head and she was and is good looking,whew.She came to the interview in a grey pencil skirt and crossed her legs I was like cheese in a fondue melting.She moves in to room number one,

3.Andy the Gardener,One arm two hands..Don't ask I can't understand either but he came with his own motor mower and has promised..Scouts honour to fit a silencer to it..

4.Pieter who is Foreign I think.Well his English is atrocious and I'm dying to find out what he carries in that crickt bag.I will be so disappointed if it's only balls.

5. Desdemona oh yes definitely a strong woman fists like ham shanks.A voice like a drill Sargeant I think I'll like her.

Right they all move in at 2pm tomorrow.There is still one room vacant so enquiries please to me.Also a part time cleaner needed to clean up after them 4 hours a week.

Time now to take my medication and put the final touches to Marthas room.No favouratism you understand just a few chocolates a bunch or two of roses you know that kind of thing.
Check back in to see how they settle in...See you soon .

They all left home.

You may think they were never there at all but how wrong you would be..It has taken me weeks to clear up the mess they left behind.I wonder what will become of Mad Maria,Nathaniel spence and co..hey ho I have been approached by several different people who wish to take up residence in the now vacated rooms in my head..but really I'm looking for a keen gardener first as the flower patch is quite messy and overgrown if you know of one let me know.Sadly I take the final knitting needle out of my ear,Marias parting gift.and settle down to sift through the applications..No mad people this time,well maybe just one or two..See you soon J.
