We were surprised by a late evening guest in the yard last night.
We hadn't seen it arrive mainly due to its imperceptible cloak of grey.
It arrived in an ominous and heavy silence bit by bit, inch by inch.
Before we knew it it was here, in the yard, at the threshold, looking through the windows, tracking in the door.
Like the true bad guest it dominated the rest of the evening's conversation.
We asked each other ' When will it go?'
'How come no one told us it was on its way?'
'If we had only known , we would have been somewhere where it couldn't come."
And like the true bad guest , it will stay longer than desired, make a bunch of extra work, and leave a big mess when it goes.
