Fragments from suburbia

IMG_1436

Most of my neighbours are staying home. They're fighting with their loved ones and they're bonding with their loved ones. They talk, laugh, shriek and bellow. I hear fragments of their frustration and their delight. I overhear most of these conversations when I'm hanging washing. Snippets from this week:Male, yelling: You need to help me here. I need your help! Female, in a cheery voice: Let's look at Scrabble, hey? Female, shouting: I've been folding for this family for 17 years! Small boy next door, playing soccer with his mum: Okay my lovely mummy! Female, screeching: How hard is it to clear your plate? Actually, that last one was me.Hope you're all keeping well and relatively sane. xx
