Bringing Home The Bacon

Whenever Miss Doozer and Esquire go away Thunderthighs feeds their cats.

We live on a small 1920s estate (did they call them estates then?) where all the streets have the same name followed by Road, Avenue and similar.  

Let’s call it the Castles.

This is what happened a couple of weeks ago

Miss Doozer 07.58 We are off.

Miss Doozer 07.59 We woke to unexpected bacon, eggs, chocolate milk and orange juice on the doorstep.

Miss Doozer 08.00 They are not ours.  Please do take custody before Jessiecat gets it.

Bentonbag  08.02 OK, but not ours either.  Wonder whose they are?

Miss Doozer 08.03 Dunno?

Miss Doozer 08.03 Free bacon?.

Bentonbag  08.05 Possibly for one of the other Castles.

Miss Doozer 08.08 If it is still there when Thunderthighs goes please give it a home.

Bentonbag  08.08 Will do.

Bentonbag  09.01  I’ve brought the haul in & left an answerphone message at Chester Dairies.

Miss Doozer 09.02 I feel this is less “looking after the cats” and more “being a PA for bacon and assorted deliveries.”

Bentonbag  Is anyone on the Castles expecting a Chester dairies delivery of bacon, eggs, butter, strawberry milk and orange juice?

It's been delivered to my neighbour who is away so I've brought it in.

If you can message me which house number and road it should have gone to I can get it to you.

Ms S2  Hi Ben, it's ours. I live on the same street as you at number 7. I messaged them this morning and they have responded with a photo of a blue door it was left at.

That afternoon

Bentonbag  Brilliant. I've just got home so shall pop over with it.

Bentonbag  Been downstairs, Thunderthighs says you've been and got it.  Hope he was polite.

Ms S2  He was.  Thank you for taking it in. I'm not sure how they got the wrong door!
