Thin lips
Mrs Trellis was a bit thin lipped when I bumped into her on a very soggy Marian lane.
By some mistake two of her answerphone messages had not reached me last Wednesday when she needed a lift from the garage.
I had asked her to ring, so it was my fault.......oh dear!
Hey ho....working later!
Doesn't your 'phone flash when there's a 1571 message on it assuming it was your landline you asked her to ring? I've had that look in your pic all week. My boss flounces off to the Seychelles leaving a squad of painters/decorators in situ and only me to clean up after them! I was not amused!
Beware! Even as I write Mrs Trellis is probably stirring her cauldron, preparing to put a hex on you. Eye of newt and tongue of ewe Bring to Gray the Spanish flu... (sound of cackling)
change your phone number. blame the phone company.or tell her you were home and the phone never rang.. make her think it is all her fault. after you tell her how you stayed home and waited for her call, she will apologize to you for the inconvenience and bake you a cake.
Did you ever figure out what happened with the messages? Guess I'd be bent too, after being told to call if I needed a ride, and was ignored. Is your machine messed up or ?
I thought you were doing a post about American Horror Story when I saw the lovely maid. My favourite television programme .... so much better than bog standard zombies ;-)
Shame, isn't it, how the innocent get blamed for an other's shortcomings.

ReplyDeleteYou hexed my day with your post yesterday, so I shall return the favour by hoping your shift goes well today.
ReplyDeletewe all have something like that happen sooner or later, all we can say is, Sorry, (poo happens.)

bake her something nice and take it round with an apology. also check the volume setting on your phone.

I hate those repetitive moving images that people put up as headers, but I don't suppose that bothers you. Anyway, it looks like Bill Nighy in drag.
ReplyDeleteIt does, doesn't it !!
DeleteI've missed you!
DeleteLOL ! It does !!
DeleteA little mistake often leads to a big apology.
ReplyDeleteBegging forgiveness might help, make sure your lower lip trembles if you do.
ReplyDeleteWere you forgiven?
ReplyDeleteDid you ever figure out what happened with the messages? Guess I'd be bent too, after being told to call if I needed a ride, and was ignored. Is your machine messed up or ?
ReplyDeleteThat image is creepy. Have you seen the season of American Horror Story that it's from? It's a good one.
ReplyDeleteWell, she won't ask you next time so that's a win.
ReplyDeleteHer next poem may be a tad cutting.
ReplyDeleteThin lips has got a tic. She is a great image.
ReplyDeleteOh dear John - that accusing look and that sniff every other second. No wonder you feel guilty.
ReplyDeleteDon't let her see you driving around, any time soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope 'thin lips' didn't give you a thick ear!!!
ReplyDeleteThis cheered me up .... glad it is not just me which technology plays a merry game with. x
ReplyDeleteThin lips are known in this household as either 'lemon lips' or a mouth like a cat's bum. Hopefully she will recover.
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't look happy does she? Better leave the country for a while, John !
ReplyDeleteOh dear. This happens to me a lot. Missing cell phone messages, that is. As yet, it hasn't been anyone needing a ride, though!
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Mistakes happen.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a Mrs. Trellis as my neighbor...I think my life would be a bit more rich....
ReplyDeleteHey, good to see that you are human too, John!
