THE PIANO TUNER

O M G

 

The piano tuner

We moved our Irish canary upstairs  so that when our new piano tuner came, he would be able to tune without acompument from the Irish one! Bless Deans little claws, though he was put on the floor, in his cage, he still sang. Nothing bothers our little singer.

I have never met this man, he was recommended by a friend from church. Well he was on time. He came to the door and said he did not know if he was early or late?

“That’s a good start, I thought? I told him he was perfectly on time. He told me it took two buses to get here. Then he told me how hot it was and started to remove parts of his clothes? This was the O M G moment.

Thankfully, he stopped at I think his tie.

Then he looked at the piano and told me what a beautiful piano it is? I thanked him and then he sighed and said quietly,

“God!”  Not sure what he meant, unless he was daunted, as it is rather a nice one and cost a mortgage.

Well, that was four hours ago! Oh  my word? I am sick of whispering? The noise is dreadful? Thank God we live in a detached house? Our dogs are sitting with me in the conservatory. Moaning and as I said to my friend, about to howel at  any moment. My love is in the kitchen. I have prepared the tea and I had to leave my Hub, as he is complaining about every note. His ear is so perfect. He told me that he is not sure the piano tuner was doing it correctly? Normally our tuner from the last house, took about two hours max. I keep going in, every half hour, asking if he is ok? He sings and says, yes. Then I wait for a bit more, nothing. When he does talk, he is like a wet lettuce! Have you ever heard a wet lettuce talk?

I asked the teen, what did he look like?

“Oh, Mum, He wears his trousers pulled right up to his chest!” Haha. “Ok,” I continue asking, “And?”

“He has a shirt on with a pen in the pocket…..!” “And hair? I ask.

“Oh, yes, he has some!” What time will he be finished? Thank God he is not charging by the hour? I have a great friend in Russia, and she had a piano tuner years ago, he was there forever and I asked her if he was charging by the hour? She thought that was so funny and went and told her old Mum, who laughed…The only thing is, she told her Mum, in the same room as the tuner?

Oh, gosh, now he is playing our piano? Oh I am staying right out of it, as my Husband is pitch perfect. A perfectionist. Well, come on, he is married to me?????? Ahahahahaha. Joking and he is, blind? If there is ever a cure for his sight, “Please God?” I wonder if a solicitor will be required?

Well the little one, well, all six foot of him, is playing football now. He has been invited to a Halloween party, I told you of his costume  choice? Well thank the Lord, he has chosen a real scary outfit……A Mexican man!!!!!! He is blonde, with blue eyes and very pale skin…. One good thing, is that the parents have arranged an invitation, where by a bracelet has been attached to the paper and if the people have not got it on on the night, they will not be allowed in. Great, hopefully, a sensible parent at last? Will find out in a couple of weeks.

Oh our man, now is playing quite nicely. Oh just wish he would finish?

Oh, have packing to do again. Oh I am sick of my husband’s job, he lives out of a suitcase. I get so very lonely.

He is off through the night to Romania.

 Well will go and finish the tea now. Take care my friends. Where ever you are, whoever you are and whatever you are doing? xxxx
