My own little world .....

I was chatting to my daughter this morning and we were talking about the weather ( as we were listening to Chris Moyles go on about the weather to Dom) and I just happened to mention that the people next door but one had had their lawn cut yesterday . Nothing suprising about that I suppose, but for some reason we started chatting about the family that live in the house. As most people around me work during the day it is always very quiet , and unless you also have children at the local school , you can go all day without seeing or speaking to another soul. I digress, but not far, but I just mentioned that I had not seen the father for a very long time. My daughter just looked at me with one of those " Ow muummm ! " looks on her face and then proceeded to inform me that they split up 2 years ago !!! Yet another single parent family in the village, we seem to have more than our fairshare of those ! It makes me wonder whether there is a jinx in the village because as soon as people move here, they split up ! Most probably down to one of the wicked witches that prowl around here posing as doogooders or Parish councilors ... Enough of my ramblings, back to my own little world.
