LE COQ JARDIN

Le Coq Jardin

Whatever that means. What’s in a title? A post by any other name would still read the same.

Atchooo!! Atchoooo ! !

Sorry, so much dust around here. That’s what happens when you live in an isolated neighborhood, and you go out of circulation.

Atchoooo!!!!

*sniff sniff*

So much cleaning to be done, so many social calls to make. God only knows what’s been going on around here while I have been away.
I know some neighbors have been knocking incessantly at my door. That’s why the grass on the path hasn’t quite grown… but, everywhere else is so dusty!

I must visit that wise woman who has three kids. See how the kids are doing, and what problems she’s solving for the masses at present.

*sniff*

Someone called Tintin has left a note here. She is apparently anxious to meet me. Sounds like a nice neighbor too. I hope she cooks.

I mustn’t forget to check on that pregnant woman. O’dee. Perhaps she’s had the baby while I’ve been away. Oh my! Everyone would have gone to visit! And she’ll assume I’m a bad neighbor. Then that ibo princess. She was planning a trip to Nigeria. I need to go and see if she’s back already. Maybe she brought back some yams.

Ah! My plants have accumulated dust. Atchoo!!

What can a person do? I wonder what they’re all up to. The freaky young man who likes to collect gadgets and disturb the neighborhood with loud music… Perhaps he has bought a computer that can cook for him and wash toilet now.

Or that fierce cat woman. The one with the swagger. I’ll just peep in on her. And the lady doctor. One has to be nice to such people. You never know when you’ll need them.

I must remember to check the fluffy lady too. See what her little boy is up to. Perhaps he would have started whistling at ladies. I’m sure his aunty Afro would like that. If she knows. Heard some unconfirmed rumors that she has decided to isolate herself. Maybe she’s afraid of swine flu, or some gigantic phallus has lodged itself right outside her door, so that she can’t step out.

So much to do around here first though. Atchooo!

My cats! Where are my cats??!!
I know. The “dada” woman must have taken them in as strays. But, didn’t she say she was going off to Alaska or some such place?

*Sniff. Sniff Sniff*

So much work to do, I’d better set about it at once….
