oh I have been tagged to win something
I'm a social creature of sorts so not wanting to be a bore I shall divert the conversation momentarily
many years ago we were called to a house to do work, the 2 ladies who lived there were sisters, elderly, now the uncouth locals always whispered that in fact, they were lovers, not a problem to me but the problem was the 25 black labradors they owned in the small 3 bed detached house
"holy shit look up there" ben
the house was built below a bank, it raised up behind the house to a flat plain so the crest could be seen above the roof
"oh my god" me
20 dogs sat on the hilltop looking at us howling the mist rolled down, it was like "the omen"
the lady came over and asked to do her a favour (i grimaced I hoped it wasn't sexual) as the comments "we don't see many strapping young men about here" was mentioned
we trundled up to the hillside with a spade each
"can you dig me a hole 6ft long 3 ft wide 3ft deep please as I'm getting on and its heavy work"
we dug the hole, this happened every time we went there over months
the ground was easy going sometimes ben would say
for a hill, it's very boggy very odd.
anyway, on the last visit, we hung around and had a cup of tea, we stood and watched as the lady would appear with buckets time and again she would walk up to the newly dug 'grave'
"go look" me
"why me" ben
"she likes you don't be a twat" me
he went and looked and came back very pale
"I know why the ground is soft, you know I have reached the pinnacle of my carrier those holes are full of dog shit how many have we dug"
"20 er 25" me
"just fucking wonderful" ben
the two sisters dug so many shit pits that they polluted the watercourse, we fled never to return to the woman's house to be known forevermore as "pat Mcdump" with the dogs howling in the mist.......
