The next decade....what's in store?

What the landlord told me

I have been forgetting to call the landlord since he called me when I was at work on Sunday. Finally called him this morning to give him my post box number so the electricity bills can be sent there. He lives up in the country so sometimes I get the bill long after.

Got that out of the way. Then was asking him about something I wanted him to check for me while I was away at Xmas. Spoke about that, and they he said this...

"You have to do something about the cleaning". Puzzled, because I knew I swept and tidied up before I left, I said "pardon me?". He repeated. Then clarified what he meant. The cobwebs! Well that don't worry me, for as I explained to him, there is bush on all except one side of the house. As fast as you get rid of the cobwebs, they are back. I have never seen so many insects in my entire life. Insects that I have never seen in Jamaica before. But then again, I don't live in bush in Kingston.

Anyway, that was it. And oh, I have some housemates. Some female students from Caribbean countries who are studying at SGU. So far, they have not proven to be too loud.

The only problem is their male visitors park their car in front of the gate, like I not supposed to have nobody come visit me. (Nobody comes! but still....manners is manners.)

A girlfriend from university days is coming to stay with me from tonight for a few days (hence the house has got a good cleaning....I should invite the landlord over!) and so there will be taxis coming in and out so will have to speak with them tonight. The visitors could actually open the gate and drive in, but in true Caribbean fashion, dem too damn lazy!.
