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.
