Tonight we are back home, 17 days after leaving. Been a great time, with 12 of the days being with Maria & Tim. Has made the concept of moving to Auckland to be closer to family feel more like an imperative than a passing thought.  http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11571169 It is clear these neighbours do not get along well - I suspect they do not have street parties together and probably don't ask each other to look after the plants/pets/mail when they are away. What is not so clear is what caused the breakdown in neighbourly relations more than 5 years ago. Neighbours say it is the dogs - two of them with one being an incessant barker. However the funnily named Sherie de la Croix, dog owner, believes people only started getting upset when she and husband bought a Porshe. It is worth reading the article. With my great insights into human behaviours I predict this article has done nothing to heal the rifts |
