54 Sticky fingers
After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to market. It was still early when I returned home. The children were at school, my hu*****and was at work and the house was quiet. So I decided to make some tarts for tea. In a short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry. At exactly that moment, the telephone rang. Nothing could have been more annoying. I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Mrs. Bates. It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I hung up the receiver. What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the doorknobs. I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the doorbell rang loud enough to wake the dead. This time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter!


54. I want to make some tea cookies to kill the time as only I myself was home. When I was in the middle of mixing butter and flour, the telephone rang. I had to pick up the receiver with my sticky hands. I was annoyed when I realized it was Mrs. Bates, she could talk all day and night. At last, I convinced her that I could not talk with her now. At the moment I decided to go back to the kitchen, the doorbell rang. The postman wanted me to sign for a registered letter. Can you imagine how messy it was?
