BURDEN OF PROOF SE.....

(Begun Thursday 30th September at 3.15am...._

*Now Thursday at about 8.09pm....Missing me already?  I wasn’t going to publish today, but seeing as I've just been summarily tossed out of Off Topic on mybroadband and am unable to re-enter the site at all, why not? *

Any new noise at all and I go on point like an effing gundog.. Both yesterday early and just now, there's a new one in the kitchen… It took me a while (my ‘altered’ hearing, and the shriek that’s returned this morning? ) before I tracked it to behind the fridge.. *looks at the Saddo..
If it hadn't been for the almost July nip in the air these past few nights, I might have bought that the fridge (Oooooh, fat dip to our power system as I type here at 8.20pm!)  was simply adjusting to the coming heat…
While it's not a laboured or bad noise, it's one that wasn’t there before yesterday morning… *shrugs..I've learned the hard way to pay attention to even the smallest of changes, haven't I Creep?

Much like the buzzing that kicked in yesterday evening, as I climbed the stairs past the rockery at 5.45pm.. Not even dark yet, and the familiar sound of the device kicking in as I went by, had me on autospit without thinking..*grins..
Where was I going at the time?

Up to Dodge City to attend a Motherbody Meeting is all… My input at these gatherings consists of nothing more than sitting in a corner making the occasional inane chirp, but for the most part just enjoying the company….
Salacious Crumb (who’s supposed to attend) was happily, absent.. Chose to instead join the Eavesdropping Party Laz?
Man, it’s weird… Is our new Station Head really unaware that the Station is wired to the max for audio-monitoring?  That every darned word she utters, especially in her own office, can easily be overheard?
Besides, surely that’s one of the first things her ‘aide’ would have warned her about…?  Well, unless she’s Oscar class material, I'd say she’s blissfully ignorant of the fact…

I'd only been back home for a while when an aside I'd heard earlier came through on my grindingly slow Replay system…
How the hell long has that been going on Zain?  Are you NUTS?  You're thinking with your dick perchance?   Course it goes a long way to explaining the continued coverage given to the Criminal Nayager in the Weekly Gazette, does it not?  Despite the overwhelming evidence that the Abuser is a crook, he makes the front page, dancing about on his skinny shanks in Brickfield Road?
And there I'd been thinking One-Eyed Jack had a ‘relationship’ with the Editor!  *laughing… Well, at least that little mystery is cleared up now, and any future articles and pictures on the disgraced ex-Sydenham Station Commander will be regarded as the result of your liaison with his attractive daughter..*snorts….

The Exec. Committee stayed behind after the main Meeting, and I took the opportunity to go out into the crisp night air for a fag… I wandered down to stand outside the Charge Office to watch the comings and goings, and it wasn’t too long before a SAPS vehicle pulled up and the Cutie emerged.. *beams..
I'm happy to say he was cheekily friendly and made me smile… (Oh, and he said it’s a G ala francaise style and not a J, btw…. ) Of course he can afford to be friendly, sitting on the Winning Team as he is….

Jump with me now, back to yesterday morning….  B.Snr’s fixed line was busy, so I'd had to trundle down to his gate at No. 4 with the dogs food… Monty had emerged as I was standing chatting to B.Snr. and had been pleasant enough, before getting into his lift's vehicle and heading off for parts unknown…
Man, I'm a sucker for a smile, whatever Team you bat for…*waves…
Missus B.Snr joined us after a bit, and I asked after her hands.. ‘It’s a miracle’ she beamed.. ‘The last week or so I've had no pain’… *cheers loudly…

This, after months and months of waking in the night in agony, mind you.. If you need further confirmation that her problem is the direct result of Balliram's vicious attentions, then you're simply a plank… If you'd allowed yourself to be convinced it was a case of arthritis and nothing else that afflicted her, there's no ways it could just disappear like that…  Whatever… The Creep can renew his onslaught at any point, and I'm just happy she's been given a break for a while…

B.Snr. then drew my attention to the fact that the ex-Flame Lily member of the Board’s dogs were out in the road up at No. 11, so I trudged hastily up the hill to put them back before the killer dog at No. 14 noticed them…
Both Buddy the scrawny little foxy and his companion, the large yellow dog, Kaya were out.. They'd dug a big enough hole for Kaya to force her way under the gates, but no ways could she get back in.. Kak!  No problemo thought I…. Missus Newton’s window and her son's window were both standing open, which meant someone was home..
So I banged my keys on their metal gates repeatedly, but no-one appeared.. Eventually our ex-Treasurer's kid drove by and stopped to help, using her hooter… Nada…
I left her guarding the dogs and went down to phone the Owner.. No reply… I called Missus Bernie and went back up in time to  watch the old lady come out and go over to study the back windows of No. 11… 'They're also all open', she said…*sighs.....
In the end I managed to shovel poor little Buddy back through one of several gaps the dogs had made in the wire fence and we left Kaya lying next to the big gates to take her chances…  *vomits..

I've got the feeling that there's more than a little unhappiness at No. 11 right now, though I've no idea why… Little Missus Newton should know that she has my support, though like Missus C, the offer will doubtless nauseate her…  WTF has gone wrong?
It's like yesterday her large SO was swaggering about with his dodgy team of Project droogs, sending sneers in my direction?  And they certainly appeared to have more than sufficient cash to burn?
I sent them an sms apiece after my calls went unanswered, and said I was trying to get hold of the SPCA to come save Kaya stuck out in the road… still no reply…
I did eventually get hold of one of the Inspectors, and filled her in on the five dogs on that tiny property..  She’s well aware of the situation on this stretch of road and said she’d swing by and have a word, despite that they're pretty much toothless in situations like this….  Good enough for me…*shrugs…

I called Missus Bernie a while later, to update her, and she said that she'd had another look and the dog was back in it's yard and it appeared someone had hastily attempted to fill in the hole under the gate..
Why has it had to come to this?  *curious…
Give me an effing key for your gate lock and I'm only too happy to put the darned dogs back in, and put a boulder in any hole they make…Fark, it's not like I'm going to go into your home and rifle through YOUR drawers and cupboards to help myself to YOUR belongings? *snarls…
That sort of behaviour is reserved for the seriously shifty, don’t you think?

So Missus Newton, I guess it's your call right now?  If you need my help, you have it.. Just don’t allow your five dogs to become pawns in this nonsense, for the next time, I'll be up there with my remaining camera and the results will be  taken down to Springfield or Metro as evidence…
Though I've not seen it lately myself, I'm told that one or two of your animals are out regularly… You're more than aware of No. 14’s murderous nature, so there's no darned excuse….

When Brian Osborne (the Illuminati) chose to tell you I was a gossiping mischief-maker, you bought it lock, stock and barrel.. Even back then he was constantly changing the rules that apply to the Moth Cottages… Remember the one that  said a maximum of only 2 dogs are allowed on those tiny properties? 
It seems the rules have been relaxed enormously in favour of No. 11, whether he’s still a Board member or not…
I gather that right now Missus Newton's charming husband has placed Tenants in their Servants quarters and is charging them R650 a month?  No, not just the one room allocated to him up there, but he’s spread his landlord wings to include someone else’s domestic quarters as well.. Nice little earner there Charlie?
You want to tellus why the Flame Lily Trustees let you get away with this?  *fascinated…
Sure you're entitled to have someone in your servants quarters, but I'd no idea you were allowed to profit financially from this?  Sue the Book follows the rules to the letter, as does her old lady.. Why the preferential treatement, is the question here?
With a little effort Missus N, I guess you'd find your neighbours are only too happy to rally round and help you, if need be… You only have to ask.. *spits at the bullying ex-Trustee…

Balliram hung around yesterday morning, doubtless enjoying the drama with the dogs, and only left after he'd managed to cause mischief as I blogged Moral Decay… Some things never change….

Peace….
