Small town

The other day I was leaning out of my ground floor bedroom window to wash it for the first time in about 6 months - I'm not a great hoose wifery type. And here's why...a little old lady whom I have never met before walked by, stopped and came back and said "oo its a grand thing you're doing there, washing yer windows, and isn't it a nice day?" "Yes" I said "it's a lovely day - the windows get a lot o stoor from the cars on the road" And off she went. This is why I hate washing the windows. If your outside standing on a chair, you get toots from the cars, if your leaning oot the window, its an invitation for a chat with a complete stranger.
