Drat

Darn.  Rats. Drat.  And other words I don’t really mean.  I was all set to mow the lawn when I got a phone call.  It had taken me a while to get to the point where I was going to mow the lawn, and then events conspired against me.
I had had a doctor’s appointment in the morning.  This doctor is hard to get, so I book a day each month for the next six months or so.
So at 8.10 I was waiting for him.  I saw him arrive and talk to the receptionist.  He was in no hurry at all.  Then he called my name and apologised.  He was expecting someone else and did not know I was there to see him.  Anyway it was a regular check up and when I said “what’s this” referring to something I had seen on my leg, he informed me it was a skin cancer.  I am booked in for a full skin check and a couple of biopsies.
I then went home and had an early sleep.  Merril had some banking to do and wanted to get a couple of things.
It was then I thought, “I will mow while she is gone.”  So I got the mower out and my headphones (I like to listen to music while I mow).  It was then the phone rang.  It was a Marcel from BWD who said he would be here in 15 minutes to get measurements of the door for the dishwasher.  I was expecting Jake from the company at 3 pm.
I thought “I can’t mow when I expect someone to come.”  So I waited.  He turned up.  Apparently he is the expert in dishwasher doors.  He had an off sider with him.  They did stuff.  One thing I really liked is the off sider was checking the doors opening and one I said, “good luck closing that one?”  He told me if there are problems like that then just turn this thing.  Hey presto it worked a treat.
Jake was phoned and he was in the area and came too.  So there were workers all through the kitchen.  The first two left and Jake remained doing stuff.
By this time it had started to rain and there went any chanced of mowing.  Hence the insincere drat.
Oh well it is still there to be mowed.  Probably a later in the week thing now as the weather is still very iffy and the lawn very wet.  Anyway, I have other things to get done.
