Back in the day when my landlady had no intention of selling the unit I am currently renting, she was dead keen on getting repairs done.
“They’re not major,” I said to the property manager. “I just thought I’d let you know the blinds are getting rusty.”
“She wants them replaced,” he said.
Ok. In came the tradie and out came the blinds. Next up was the mould in the bedroom wardrobe. Then came the hot water tank.
“Queenie must be having affairs with all these tradies she has coming to her home,” teased one of my colleagues.
Ha ha. Very funny.
“They have weird names,” I said. “One of them’s called Rwanda and the other’s called Simba.”
My colleague burst out laughing. “Simba – as in the lion!”
Speaking of lions, many people have told me Butterscotch looks like a one, including Brett. It’s hard to say when he’s so small but yes, he does have that yellow coat.
