Tonight was so hot and the cats and I were on the balcony. I went in to make some supper and when I took it back out, all five cats were lined up in a row, paws and heads between the wooden slats, staring out at something. So of course I stared out too, over the top railing, and there was a man having a pee against the hedgerow below the house. Of course, at that moment he looked up, and I dread to think what he must have thought - that I had been looking at him for several minutes! Not to mention the five little faces also having a good look. And the worst is - I know him! He was one of the drivers who turn their buses round in the circle just below the house and field. He knows me too, we exchange greetings and a few words when I get on his bus. Thank goodness I am leaving soon - I would never keep a straight face as I was buying my ticket.
