Neighbours. Blog 200901122121

Monday 12^th January 2009, Brighton, England.

Opposite where my office is, there are a row of maisonettes. The people there often don't draw their curtains or close there blinds – I guess people in offices don't have eyes! But where my desk lies I look out of the window directly into these. I have to say actually seeing someone else's life is more interesting than only hearing about on twitter. In a way its like celebrity squares but instead of seeing various people face on behind a desk, I see their whole room. It reminds me of this when I see a house after an explosion or hurricane with the walls of the rooms gone.

And it is amazing, I get to see a section of all their lives. For example, there is James and Julie (I've given them all imaginary names, I don't really know them at all). They are the most visible of my neighbours. Mostly because they leave their curtains open all the time – or perhaps they haven't got curtains. Anyway, James must be retired because he is in all times of the day. Julie comes and goes. I guess they are naturalists because most of the time they don't have clothes on. Anyway they must have been away over Christmas as there were no lights on. They came back after New Year with loads of bags and since then James has been on his computer nearly every day, all day. Yesterday I think he had a dispute with Julia because I could see them facing each other, waggling fingers and, although I can hear nothing, they looked like they were yelling at each other. I'd love to know what they're saying.

We went to Churchill Square Shopping Centre again, apparently we didn't get enough clothes last time. I had more coffee, at Coffee Republic this time. This just wastes time I could be on the internet. As a result this blog is late again.

Til next time,

Good Night and Happy Tomorrow everybody.
