Our next door neighbour seems to be moving out, we've known it was going to happen for a while but had no idea exactly when. The entire population of our small town seems to have known though, as they're all congregating on her drive sharing stories of her late husband and wishing her well.

Slightly dreading a knock at the door for her to say goodbye as I don't know her particularly well whereas husband has known her for about 15 years, and I'm socially awkward at best. He'll be gutted he missed her going, but such is life.

Today is my last full day of home alone antics so I'm swanning around in a freshly sewn skirt (which still needs hemming but shh this is totally fine) trying to do the absolute bare minimum amount of work that won't get future me in trouble, so I can then skive off this afternoon and make the most of it. The top that goes with this skirt isn't going to sew itself!

Yeah, that's super awkward. "Hey so, say goodbye to the person I've known longer who lives here with you."? I guess you could be extra sleepy from your 6-9 and entirely miss the antics of their farewell congregation.

If nothing else you could always just pretend you didn't notice 😂
