At the car-wash
Is Monday and Two has an appointment to see his long suffering doctor. Blood tests came back normal and guess what? We have another prescription for anti-itch cream. I shall be forced to move out soon in order to make room for the pharmacy which is steadily encroaching upon me. We then went to supermarket where I abandoned Two and his trolley as he stood clucking vacantly and trying to remember what was needed. Could see would probably throw myself to floor and scream if forced to watch Two's very slow mental processes grind into action. Repaired to car and smoked cigarette to calm self down. Waited a considerable time for Two, who reappeared and announced we needed to go to car-wash. Had to agree as headlamps sporting moss. Car-wash maintenance man was parked in front of us, but we got the green light to proceed. Sadly, we failed to get the red-light once inside car-wash, and Two was becoming very agitated. I baled out as this point leaving Two at the controls. Back and forth he shunted, teeth bared in frustration. Car wash maintenance man approached to assist and Two opened window to receive instructions. Eventually he was in position and I gesticulated to Close The Window. Two snarled something unrepeatable at me, and disappeared beneath giant green cotton wool bud. I almost hoped he had forgotten to close window. Two appeared and re-appeared several times from behind cataracts of water and whirling cotton wool buds. I must say he looked extremely glum, but emerged unscathed.
