Your move next, then.
Can I suggest a bottle of spirit vinegar in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other? He should soon realize that the windows are not nearly as discerning as his neighbor.

I reckon he’s been watching too much Kim & Aggie. You watch, he’ll be back for lemon juice next. Altho Lord knows what he’ll be wearing if that’s what he wears for cleaning windows.

Fortunately, I’ve plenty of lemon juice to offer him if he comes back. Though if he had been watching Kim and Aggie, would he not have been attired in rubber gloves with feather trim? Did he remove them before coming upstairs? (If so, he should not have bothered).
When I think about it, the fact that I live in the land of 24 hour vinegar emporia makes this little episode all the more strange.

Holiday Blogging
I’m away from work for a week’s holiday – the first time I’ve managed to get away since last September. I’d had a week scheduled in January but it was lost to the ‘flu. The last couple of weeks have been rather challenging due to an extended internet outage in the Cathedral office. I’ve left…

World Autism Awareness Day
Today is World Autism Awareness day and well worth marking. I’ve known a couple of people receive a diagnosis of being on the autistism spectrum in the last year or so, each in their forties and each with a whole new growing awareness of who they are. I know more about Asperger syndrome than other…
