Clean windows for Christmas

I just managed to get showered and dressed as the window cleaners finished the job. Blue skies and the sunshine highlighted the actions through the blinds. 

The doorbell rang as I went downstairs, I thought it was the young lady with the bill for payment, but standing there were two smartly dressed middle aged ladies. One of them asked me if I thought that there would be an end to violence and there would be peace  in the world (or words to that effect). 

I was a bit taken aback for a few seconds then replied ‘not in my lifetime’. The weather is now mild and I was wearing an open necked top. The lady noticed my neck and the y shaped scar running from either side of my neck and disappearing down my sternum. It’s not that obvious as it has faded over time. 

She handed me a leaflet and said ‘you look very busy so if you would like to contact us the details are here’. Not at all what I expected, these visitors normally have lots to say and certainly don’t run away within seconds!!! I’m not sure if I frightened her off.
