For the last 12 months I have been working reading water meters. Its a pretty decent job I walk around all day listening to podcasts or music I dont mind it at all. I walk about 8 to 12 kms a day so I do a fair bit of walking in the week which keeps me pretty fit.
One day about 6 weeks ago I was halfway through my day and I went into a pretty basic yard to collect the read on a metre when the dog a size of a horse came running out pretty quick. Now dogs are the worst thing about my work they are either aggressive or jumpy or both. Anyway this horse/dog comes bounding out barking at me and I am ready to fucking sprint the fence was to high to jump but I was ready to move. This girl comes screaming out after the dog calling him back which to my great relief it did. Im standing there my hand on the gate ready to run my heart going pretty quick. I turn and go back to my work and collect the read. She is standing on her balcony with this giant dog bounding about still watching my pretty closely, she looks pretty apologetic I tried to compose my self when she pretty shockingly asked if I wanted a coffee or something, I gave it some thought and said no to the coffee but water would be great. She went back inside has her dog followed and I stood outside waiting after about a minute she comes back out and says “Are you coming in?” I was suprised but followed her in. She apologised and introduced her self as Linn I for the first time really took notice of her she told me she was from Norway in a thickish accent. She was about 5’5 or so typical blonde hair for that region I assume, blue eyes, quite petite and what looked like a tan she had been working on.
