Small Witch

Hot water is up and running again. I have emptied the sitting room ready to paint the dreaded walls that are always ten centimetres too high which ever direction you lean in.

The neighbour's car was broken into two days ago. They smashed a side window, stole his toolbox and car battery and left blood all over the seats. The police didn't believe the bit about the battery.

Meanwhile, my other neighbour Alice, who used to be Frank, says her neighbours were playing Parchis* the other night at two in the morning and they looked out of their window and saw people creeping over the roof of the complex that Alice who used to be Frank, lives.

"Did you phone the police?" Alice asked them.

"Whatever for?" they replied in genuine astonishment.
