When I asked Jane to collect a piano hinge from the wholesaler's, after a few sarcastic comments about striped and spiral paint, she reluctantly set off. She has just returned in a huff, saying that they laughed at her when she asked for one of those VIOLIN hinges. Needless to say, I told her to put the piano under her chin and play it with a bow. I am sure that if you lived with me, you would end up ripping your hair (or mine) out by the end of the first day. Knowing you, it would probably be mine.
I remember the day that a trainee projectionist phased the shutter incorrectly. When I pointed out that it was causing the picture to 'ghost'; he grabbed his coat, shouting out as he ran for the door, I always knew that this creepy old theatre was haunted. We never saw him again,
One of the cats caught a mouse and is clutching it between his teeth and growling at any others who come near. He's not enjoying his prize at all. Since there are 9 others, he can't put it down!
