Our house is for sale, Icky put up an "For Sale"-sign on Thursday and ever since we've had quite a lot of calls from people who want to see the place.
however, I've had quite another reaction too...
Each time one of us runs into a neighbour they ask if we're going to sell the place (no we just think a sign like that is nice and by putting our number on our window we try to make new friends), and then it's just all smalltalk and that's it.
Yesterdaymorning, I was on my way home after I brought Soufyan and Yaesseen to school, I ran into the guy who lives right across the street from us. I'm quite unsure about his name, but we talk a lot to him. he is a really nice guy, tonight he's performing with his band in a pub and we don't want to miss it, so we're going there, and when we told him we were coming, his face absolutely lit up. He saw the sign too, how could he miss that, and he said that is was a shame, and that he'd miss us. And you know what, I'm going to miss him too...
Neighbours are a funny thing, either you like them, or you dislike them, or you don't even know them. In this street we know quite a lot of neighbours, and I really like most of them. It'll be weird moving to another place again, I really got adjusted to this place, street and the people surrounding us.
