Day 9 of 40 I’ve got your Number


This is tricky. I know exactly what I want to say tonight, except not in English. It’s about my bedroom. The carpet of my bedroom to be specific. And about a guy. There’s the problem. The guy is a bloke who I’ve only met twice. He did this thing for me. With the carpet. That’s what made me confused because at first I thought of him as a carpenter. Carpet, carpenter. No so strange, is it? But then I realized that carpenters don’t work with carpets, in general they work with wood. I need one of those too by the way, someone who works with wood. To build me a stair to the attic in the new house. But that’s another story which has an open end at the moment. Not the attic, that has a shutter of course. With a foldable ladder. And that’s about the only thing I don’t like about the new house. I am not a ladder type.
I remember it now. The guy I am talking about is what you’d call a furnisher. Anyway a couple of years ago I bought this black fluffy carpet for my bedroom. I still love it. I think that is the best part of the bedroom, next to the bed that is. The guy worked for the company where I bought it. He did a great job, neatly and quick. The way my father used to work. My father used to be a furnisher too. And an electrician, a plumber, a builder, there were many other things in and around a house you could call him for. Back to my carpet. This was carpet which has to be laid without glue. The old fashioned way. Therefore it is removable. You’d need special tools to remove it though. That’s why I need this guy again. To remove it here and replace it in my new bedroom. Great that I still got his number. Even better that he did not switched from telecom company and got his self a new number. I’ve called him today and we fixed a date. Saturday September 29 that is. Another thing ticked off my to do list.
