Next Door Neighbours

We have weird next door neighbours, we know every detail of their life because they are loud and our walls are thin. They are a couple with two young boys we know the names of their two unruly little boys but I'm not sure if you're allowed to say that kind of thing on the Internet so I will call them Jack and Ben. They have relationship problems and are very vocal about them, they like to smoke weed on a Friday afternoon in the garden, they have some financial problems and the lady has unresolved anger issues.

Until quite recently we had no idea what they looked liked then one day when a football appeared in our yard. It was a sunny day and we were off to the park so naturally we took the ball with us, and we were a bit blarzay about bringing it back, that is to say we left it in the park. That evening the dad and one of the boys came round to ask for the ball back, I went into the garden and shouted 'I can't see it' which wasn't a lie. We then called round all our friends to see if anyone had picked it up, luckily Cat had. We managed to retrieve it from her a few days later and throw it over the wall in a 'oh there it is' kind of a way. Since then they have been constantly throwing balls over which we normally throw back until recently when it has happened so often we think they're doing it on purpose so we haven't bothered throwing them back.

Last Monday we were walking towards our church, when a group of little scally kids started egging us. I don't want to become a ragging torrie or anything.... but if the working class have enough money to buy eggs for the soul purpose of egging then they need to be taxed more. Anyway that's just a tangent, we were walking after just being egged and there was a family of 4 walking on the same bit of pavement as us. We definatly wouldn't had reconised them if they hadn't started talking, but as soon as they opened their months we knew it was them. It was a bit like watching a tv show for a number of years and then suddenly seeing the stars. Me and Dan both thought about saying 'Hello we're you're neighbors' but we both realised that they could have replyed 'why haven't you thrown our balls back' or 'how do you know?' so we said nothing and watched them. Not in a creapy way just in a carry on walking and say nothing way. We discoved Jack and Ben are twins I'd always wondered which was older and which one I had seen when they came round. (I still don't know that cos they look alike.)

I do wonder if they reconised us, and how much they know about our lives, and if they are bloging about all our issues right now.

Morocco

We've just been to Morocco, it was hot and fun and crazy. They speek french and arabic which I thought would be cool because I speek a little bit of arabic and Dan speeks a lot of french. Except it was attualy anoying because we had an arabic lesson on the first day and their arabic is probably about 60% different to the arabic I learnt in palestine, so Dan really easily picked up Morocan arabic and I was in a constant state of language confusion. I'd talk in a mixture of english, GCSE french and my wrong arabic. Once while we were there some arabs knocked on the door and I said 'good morning' (even though it was evening) they said some more things in arabic and I just shurugged because Dan was on the toilet and unavalible to use his language skills.

Morroco is brilliant though I love the crazy way they drive and their markets I nearly pursuaded Dan to let me buy a baby tortoise to bring back but not quite. Look how cool it is:



Since coming back I've had a lot of schools work because of the jubilee which is a celebration of  Jews belly's. I've also done a bit more stand up comedy:

My opening line was 'if I was a pig going to a furnature themed fancy dress party I'd pirce all my nipples and go as a chest-of -draws' (it's true!)




P.s Wecome Heather and Matt my two new followers, I now have 18 followers which make more popular than Jesus.

PPS I got an email saying if I don't do a thing by 31st of May then I can no longer access my blog. I hope that's not true because I couldn't do the thing.
