THE VILLAGE PEOPLE


I worked with my brother this week putting up children's playgrounds. Wednesday and Thursday were spent in Woolgoolga. After finishing at 7.30 in the evening we drove through the night to get to a small village in the Hunter Valley for a job the next morning. It was a long hot day and the only room we were able to get was in the local pub. It was small with a double bed, two single beds and a pedestal fan.

We didn't care, we were exhausted. Ashley pulled the blanket off the double bed and slept under the sheet. Ryan collapsed on top of a single bed, clothes and all and was soon snoring. I slept on top of the bed so as to get the breeze from the fan and the window.

Half way through the next day Ashley said "Well you realize we won't be able to come back to this town".

We looked at him puzzled and asked why?

"Think about it. Three men share a room. When they come to make up the room in the morning two beds are untouched and only the double bed has all the blankets pulled off. Next time if you sleep on top of your beds at least muck them up in the morning!"
