Man, what a day! I swear, being a glazier in Frimley-Green is like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded. You think you know what’s coming, but nah, life’s got other plans. So, let me spill the tea on this wild ride.
I woke up, right? Sun’s shining, birds chirping, all that jazz. I’m thinking, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Ha! Little did I know. First job was on Frimley Green Road. Nice little bungalow, but the glass was all smashed up. Some kids were playing footie, and boom! Ball hits the window. Classic, right? I mean, come on, lads!
So, I’m there, fixing the window, and I hear this commotion. Turns out, it’s the local pub, The Green Man. They’re having some sort of charity event. Everyone’s buzzing, and I’m like, “Great, I’ll just fix this and pop over for a pint.” But nooo, the universe had other ideas.
I finish up, and as I’m packing my tools, I get a call. “Oi, mate! We need you at the other end of Frimley Green!” It’s on the other side of the village, near the Frimley Lodge Park. I’m thinking, “Seriously? Can’t a bloke catch a break?” But I hop in my van, and off I go.
Driving down the High Street, I see the usual suspects. Old Mrs. Jenkins with her dog, that little yappy thing. She’s always giving me the eye like I’m up to no good. I just smile and wave. Can’t let her ruin my vibe, right?
So, I get to the next job, and it’s a disaster. The whole shop front is wrecked. Some bloke tried to break in. I mean, what’s wrong with people? I’m fuming. I start measuring up the glass, and I can’t help but think about how much I hate dealing with this kind of mess.
But then, outta nowhere, a kid comes up to me. He’s got this massive grin, holding a piece of glass he found. “Look, mister! I found treasure!” I can’t help but laugh. Kids see the world differently, don’t they? It’s just a piece of glass to me, but to him, it’s a treasure. Made me feel a bit better, y’know?
After that, I’m back in my van, heading to the next job on St. Peter’s Road. I’m thinking, “Just a few more hours, and I’m done.” But then, I hit traffic. Typical Frimley-Green, right? I’m stuck behind some old banger that’s coughing up smoke like it’s the end of the world. I’m losing my mind.
Finally, I get to the job. It’s a house on the corner of St. Peter’s and Frimley Green Road. Nice place, but the owners are a right pair of divas. They want everything perfect. I’m sweating bullets trying to get the measurements right. “No, not that way! The other way!” I’m like, “Lady, it’s glass, not a Picasso!”
But I get it done. Just as I’m about to leave, they offer me a cuppa. I’m thinking, “Why not?” So, I sit down, and we chat. Turns out, they’ve lived there for ages. They tell me stories about Frimley-Green, how it’s changed over the years. It’s kinda nice, really. Makes you appreciate the place more.
By the time I leave, I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. I head back to my van, and guess what? The sun’s setting over the green. It’s beautiful. I stop for a sec, just to take it in. Frimley-Green might be a bit mad sometimes, but it’s home.
So, I finally get back to my workshop, and I’m knackered. But I can’t help but smile. It was a crazy day, full of ups and downs. But that’s life, innit? Just gotta roll with it.
And as I sit here, I’m thinking about tomorrow. More glass, more chaos. But hey, that’s what makes it all worth it. Cheers to Frimley-Green!
