A couple of years ago we had a fire in the kitchen (it was a “Oh my goodness! The chips!” episode!) and I had to get rid of the blinds we had on the window because it got damaged. We were going to do all the windows at the same time, so in the mean time we only put curtains back up on the kitchen window.
I was standing at the kitchen sink. It was a warm night so I still had the window open and the curtains apart. I looked up and saw my reflection. My hair was a mess. So using the window as a mirror, I took out my hair elastic, pulled back my hair as neat as I could with my fingers and put it back up in a pony tail. Looking at my reflection again, I readjusted my bra to make “the girls” more comfortable and smoothed down my shirt.
While I was standing there, I had the feeling that someone was watching me. I turned around, thinking that one of the kids or Bill has walked in the room. No-one. I turned back around to the window and looked through my reflection outside and noticed my neighbour standing at his kitchen window, laughing.
Time to get the bamboo shades and new curtains for the kitchen window, me thinks!
