The place next to mine is for sale and there's an open house today.
All afternoon as I've been working in my basement, I've been treated to visions of expensive coats and footwear passing through the alley-way between the two buildings.
I've lived here for almost four years and in that time I've been really lucky to have good neighbours. For some reason, though, I'm convinced that the next owners are going to be atrocious. I have visions of yuppies and power-strollers slamming through my head.
No one's peeked down in through the window into my space yet, but I'm sure that moment will come.
I'm considering working naked in the hopes that that will weed out prospective buyers. Those who find the sight distressing will flee; those who don't care will make good neighbours; and those that leer are at least good for a laugh.
