Good Neighbours


I went to add electricity next door late yesterday, and somehow set off the alarms of the house next door. A neighbour peeped over the wall and caught me red handed.
"Just putting in the code to top up my electricity," I explained.
She invited me in to her place and offered me some fruit juice. Her son Tristan was playing Grand Tourismo on Playstation, and her daughter was doing some gardening (wearing yellow clothes to keep her hands clean).

Turns out the family have been living in Christchurch for the past 17 years or so. And now the lady is an art lecturer at the Free State university.

They had some interesting stories to share. Will share them here when I have a chance.

Hope it rains today.
