Alone Time Last night, in a rare chance of fate, I had the house all to myself. Joe had driven up North in search of cloudberries. I opted not to go because someone needed to be here to supervise the House of Teenagers. All three of them slept over at friends' houses though so it was a peaceful evening...or it would have been were it not for Iris' old flame. He got back in town last night and it didn't take him long to fall into his old pattern at calling at all hours of the day and night. His first call came at 12:30 after I had just fallen asleep. A second one came around one, when I had just gotten back to sleep. I pulled the plug on the phone, but I shouldn't have to do that. Grrrr.
However it seems he's not the only one who has no regard for telephone etiquette (didn't anyone teach these guys that you don't phone people after 10 o'clock at night?) When I checked for messages this morning there were two from some guy who'd been up here from Alberta...one came in at around 4 a.m. and the second close to 5 a.m. He wanted to see Iris before he went back home. Oh, and by the way, he really loves her bum! How is it that Iris attracts such jerks!!
