Small talk.

We are in the kitchen.

I am cooking potatoes and admiring the reflection of my new haircut in the window.

I see a strobe type effect in a window of the building opposite.

"Look, they are having a discotheque," I say to hub.

He looks.

"There's a man in that building," replies hub.

"Yes," I say (encouragingly).

"And he watches me while I am out the back having a cigarette."

"Strangely."

"How exactly are you smoking?" I enquire (I am quite the wit).

"It could be because once, when I was a bit drunk, I did something," he continues, ignoring my hilarious joke.

There is a pause.

"You did something," I say, encouragingly again. (He can be a bit reticent.)

"Yes," he says.

"Right," I say.

"This," he says.

And he entirely pulls his trousers down and shows me his bottom.

"Yes," I say, "That would account for it."

I have to say, that story didn't end quite as I expected it to.

I thought the drunken tale would at least involve an abandoned rocking chair and possibly a picture of Catherine Zeta Jones in her early days.

But no. Bums it is.

Is this a mooning at the new neighbours?????

And may I just say how lovely your new haircut looks ....

John, I didn't promise sophistication, or even imagination...

Lovely Caroline, I know, it is hardly the way to make friends. Or maybe it is... And thank you. *blushes*

I think it's interesting that the neighbor continues to to watch him even after the mooning....is he hoping for a repeat performance?
