Neighbour Confusion

As I got home just now, with the bag of chinese takeaway in my hand (which, I should add, is sat beside me, looking rather "dishy"... heheheheh...), my nextdoor neighbour, whom I have never met before, was just leaving his house.

Momentarily, I forgot that he probably had no idea who I was. I gave him the kind of "Hello", avec smile, that one normally preserves for one's nextdoor neighbour of eight years, or a coworker whom you don't particularly like, when you bump into them in the town centre on Saturday.

Well, either he recognised me, or he's not the Who the fuck are you? sort, because he responded in kind.

As I walked past his front gate and through my own, I looked back to see whether there was a visual epiphany. I have to credit him, none such was apparent.

My crispy shredded beef looks lovely.
