Oh what it is ...

... to be known so well by ones neighbours!!

I have just taken some stuff out to the recycling boxes and my next door neighbour was shivering under her car port - having a cigarette.

She asked me what I was cooking - I told her I had just cooked a gammon and was now making soup - then I asked how she knew I was cooking - her answer made me laugh!

Apparently she can tell what I am doing by what I am singing!!

Gardening = folk songs or (oddly) sea shanties
Ironing = opera,
General housework = Country and Western or Rock'n'Roll.
Cooking = Irish songs

I have to own up to always singing about the place - but had not realised that the songs were task related or that anyone paid so much attention!!

There's something nice about that ST. Not a nosey neighbour as such. A more intuitive one . Much nicer!

I used to sing Ravel's Bolero but, sadly, not any more.
