Nosey in a Noiseless Neighbourhood

We have moved and the whole street is so hushed and noiseless and that is weird.  From a busy front street where police sirens wail all day and gaggle of children shriek nearby and neighbour's friends cars honking and cars screeching in the back yard this quietness is a treat!  I feel that every time I speak the whole cul de sac is listening.

During the holidays my new past time was being nosey.  I learned that the Anderson's go out everyday at 9.00 am; the taxi driver neighbour (seemed) did not do any taxiing at all; T goes to work at 8.30 like clockwork and her husband takes the wolfie dog for walks.  Mr and Mr A have three cars and only use two.  And D's cat goes visiting.  An orange cat comes out from one of the houses and these two cats disappear together.

I loved doing these 'observation' while having my green tea in the front room.  I have to say I preferred coffee but I still need to dig out my coffee maker from one of the brown boxes upstairs.  So a green tea bag is easier.

I wonder how many of my neighbours had also been observing me.
