Weird neighbour

In our neighbourhood, there is a weird chap. He regularly stands in his garden, not actually doing anything, just standing there for minutes at a time, possibly in deep contemplation.

At least its not the same spot every time. Sometimes he stand in one spot and ponder for a few minutes, then walk to a different spot and then stand there for a bit. Sometimes he'll stare intently at the floor, as if looking for something.

Is he a weirdo? He has a beard.

In his defence, he does sometimes actually do some gardening out there, and over the last 2 years I've seen his garden go from an absolute awful eyesore, to something that is starting to resemble a nice garden.

 

sounds like me but not got the beard .......yet

 

He's got a beard.

 

Maybe u should ask him if he needs some advice on his garden when u see him intently staring

 

My father-in-law used to do the same thing, he'd say "just popping out for some air".
The truth is he'd gone outside to break wind.

So there's your answer Clueless.

 

There was a bloke in Sherbourne who used to wait in his front garden for the kids to come out of school.

Every time a kid walked past he'd bang a shovel against the wall.

He also used to draw chalk circles around dog poo on the pavement.

 

What, like you get round dead bodies at crime scenes, lol

And I'VE got a beard thank you !!

 

I'm surprised nobody has yet clicked. The chap I was referring to is in fact me

While out there on one of my pondering sessions, it suddenly dawned on me, that if I was one of those sorts that see the garden as just the bit of dead space next to the house, and I saw a chap just standing in his garden, I might think he was weird. Therefore it follows that I must be the weird neighbour

 

Have you got a shovel Dave?

 

What is this life if,full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?

 

Serene I stumble amids the flowers, counting up lifes drinking hours....

No replies to that one please.

 

Luckily I don't have a Weird neighbour , but the house next door says they have one

 

I often stand in the garden & stare- thinking "where do I start?"

 

Have you got a beard?
