Just because no ones watching

Finally the builders have gone! and I'm really not sorry to see them go. Of course I mean this as no stain on their characters as they were both very nice people. But dear lord, getting out of bed in the morning and instantly being in the presences of strangers is very hard to get used to.

We all do things in the privacy of our own homes, that can only be justified simply by the fact no ones watching. Like licking ketchup off your own body as its dripped out your bacon Sandwich, while you bum around in ill fitting clothes unwashed, watching some rubbish morning TV with your only interest being if it was him that got her pregnant or not. However all this has come to an end for the past few weeks just because of the builders. I've always felt like i've had to have been washed, looking like I'm doing something slightly productive, and the amount of ketchup thats been wasted is unforgivable!

Whats more is the small talk! I'm normally very good at small talk working in a shop and all. However after a few weeks it started to wear a bit thin, It came a habit in the last few days to check the weather on Google just before I headed downstairs so I could hold up my end of the conversation, as inevitably there was going to be the subject of the Weather or Libya brought up after the morning pleasantries. Other conversation were a bit easier to play the nodding dog to and at 0830AM I'd generally agree with him to just about anything. Some things I seem to remember talking about were

1)The prices of new Bricks v The prices of old Bricks
2)The compatibility of SLR and DSLR Nikon Lenses post 1990.
3) His knee
4) His knee getting worse
5) His Knee stopping him from working
6) His Knee causing pain
7) Afganistan
8) The Weather in Afganistan

So yes, like I said although they were both nice people, I can return to dipping prawn crackers in curry and making Tea in my boxers and I can do all this because once again "No ones watching!"
