Pongo and the Intruders

I think I have fixed the gas (replaced the battery in the sparker) but I need the project team to come round to sort out the water heater. They arrive in the afternoon and as they come in and walk past me I get this incredibly strong pong of BO, which makes me feel a bit sick. 

Anyway, Pongo 1 goes into the ceiling and sorts out the water heater, whilst Pongo 2 sorts out the shower head (I have noticed that it was pissing more water out the fittings that the head itself) and I get them to look over the gas to make sure that it’s all OK. After they go, I turn all the fans on full blast and open all the windows.

I was just drifting off to sleep tonight when I heard the doorbell go, at about midnight. I thought ‘oh piss off, whoever you are’ and turned over… only to hear a key in the lock, it turning, and the sound of the door opening, plus mumbled voices! I jumped out of bed (naked) and ran out into the lounge shouting “WHO’S THERE?” with all my bits wobbling about! They scarper, closing and locking the door behind them, and by the time I had gone back to put some pants on and gone out into the hallway, they had disappeared. I put the chain on the door and go back to bed, but am a bit worried now about the security – it’s not that I have loads of belongings here, but what I do have it pretty important – passport, money, identification documents, gin.
