Neighbours

As our stay away was so short we didn't think to mention to our neighbours that we were going away. When we got back Paul (left-hand neighbour) accosted us as we unpacked the car to ask whether our disappearance had been to hospital. A bit later Sue (right-hand neighbour) came home and asked whether there were any developments. "I saw the car had gone overnight and I thought 'this is it'".

It's nice that they are interested and even enthusiastic about our new arrival. I just hope that when the baby arrives the walls are thick enough to prevent their friendly enthusiasm from being rapidly diminished by involuntary sleep deprivation.
