We've lived in our flat for some years, it's a two storey building in a terrace and our flat is upstairs. It's a very nice flat and I love it, but the garden flat downstairs has changed hands more than I can care to mention! Mostly the tennants/owners have been pleasant and the ones we have now are no exception however, I just wish that a (nice) elderly couple would move in and take root! Last summer a single guy moved in, in his thirties I'd guess, he's really lovely and friendly, works in London and we didn't see him much, he now has moved his girlfriend in, she's lovely too, so what's the problem you say? Our bedroom is at the back of the house and and is on a lower level than the other rooms in the house, it has a large bay window that backs right on to their garden, you could almost step out of it and be in their garden. We have some foldable shutters to protect our decency, but it seems that the girlfriend works from home, and in this weather she is permanently sitting outside (and who can blame her!). I'm sure she's not interested in my comings and goings but I feel really self concious flitting around my flat, opening the window, generally pottering, even my rear facing kitchen window is right onto their garden, If I'm washing up or ironing, I seem to be face to face with someone at all times and it's driving me round the flaming bend!!!
I want to go into the bedroom and change the bed but the shutter's pulled right back at the mo and as they've got about 5 friends all sitting in the garden I feel I'll have to wait till it's dark to go over and pull it across. I used to enjoy sitting out the front on my little deck chair, but they are "in and out like yo yos" and I feel a bit of an idiot sitting there. It's as if one of them's always out the back and the other's out the front. When they're together in the back garden there more often than not canoodling...and I don't know where to put my face, I think ...blooming heck I hope they don't think I'm watching them!!!!
I'm just a hard working scruffy old bird, who likes to come home from work, strip of my acrylic work uniform, put on some sloppy old clothes and mooch around the house, doing some housework when the mood takes me, but right now it feels like living in a goldfish bowl!!!!! Aggghhhh!!!!!!
