The view from the back

Then the phone rings and its our estate agent a really nice woman who's been so helpful and very patient ( listening to my moaning ) and thankfully she seems to have a way of prodding team manaña in just the right way ! Has she got the news we await ? No , team manaña want to pop in NOW , NOW ! I Say . WHY  , they have been advised to call in and see if its still what they want and that every thing works ? So with no choice we agree and the lovely wife goes into melt down trying to turn a sows ear back into a silk purse , not a prayer . So with piles of boxes in every room and cr@p behind every door and a bedroom more akin to a half full container they arrived all cool looking in their Linen and cheese cloth bottles of volvic in hand spinning the car keys , I welcomed them at the door in my shorts and vest with sweat dripping off my nose " come in , if you fall over any thing it's your fault ! Ok ? " I heard the flush go as the lovely wife had just cleaned all the bathrooms and bleached the loo's (  Note -  elevate to hero status ) it took an hour to check every thing worked inc all the white goods AND the HEATING this took some fiddling to convince the intelligent boiler that yes we really want you on even though its nearly 30c indoors!  They also measured up for black out blinds as they would never sleep with all the natural light that floods our home , best point I thought ? Then they were gone happily on their way to sign away their life savings and take on the lead jacket of a mortgage no more the care free life of a renter and were one step nearer to dumping our jacket and going to pasture ( not seed ) in the sun, well not pasture more rocky dirt covered with prickly pears but you know what I mean as some f you share the dream .
