The Curtain Twitchers

This is the result of another five-minute exercise. Though it did take a bit more than five minutes. Enjoy!

THE CURTAIN TWITCHERS

“There they go again!”

“What?”

“The curtains at number 36!”

“What are you going on about, woman!”

“She’s peeking oot the curtains again! She’s always hiding behind them curtains and peeking oot at everyone.”

“And you’re not?”

“That’s different. I’m no curtain-twitcher.”

“I wouldn’t be so sure about that.”

“Ach, there’s no even anybody in the street! What the hell is she looking at?”

“Probably the Curtain-Twitcher across the road.”

“Aye, you’re right funny! I’m away to make the tea. Make sure and lift that bag of fertilizer aff the front door-step and put it in the shed will you?”

“How can the boy no put it in the shed when he delivers it? How does he always leave it on the front step?”

“Cause I’ve warned him no to come trotting all over my petunias! That’s how. Now, away and put it up.”

 

“Seems she’s one of those tinkers from Romani.”

“Who is?”

“The curtain-twitcher across the road.”

“Are you still on about that! Would you give me a break! That’s all you ever talk about. Every night this week! Enough already with your blethering!”

“You’re clueless, You. Mrs. Johnson up the road, number 41, was telling me that she heard the woman was aff the Romani gypsies and that they were effter her for robbing them blind. Huh, that’d be a new one, them getting robbed blind!”

“Can you no give me peace to read my paper?”

“Do you no understand? We could be mobbed with bloody criminals wielding axes and baseball bats all over the place!”

“Now, you’re just havering woman. Away and don’t be ridiculous! I’ve seen her, she’s just an ordinary soul. Leave her alone and come away from that window, You flaming, Curtain-Twitcher!”

“You mark my words, there’s gonna be trouble on this street because of her!”

 

 

“Why is copz all day be cross road, Sergi?.”

 

“Not worry Sasha, person probably murdered curtain-twitching lady then covered with bag of fertilizer as warn to other curtain-twitcher at number 41.”

These beautiful windows are the artworks of Astrid Jaekel, an Irish German Artist. I’m not sure if they are still there but if they are they can be seen in Victoria Street Edinburgh, Scotland. I think her work is phenomenal! You can see more of her art by clicking on the Window-cutouts.
