So today my street is buzzing with so much activity, one would think the lockdown’s over. A couple of things that seem to be going on, drivers have figured out that this street connects to multiple routes, so are using it as a way of avoiding police. The traffic is hectic.
Teenage boys, who possibly can’t smoke at home are big culprits out for smoke breaks. But they are congregating in numbers, sharing cigarettes, etc. Someone also came to my gate to shout to borrow a lighter. Like I was really going to go out 😬
And then there’s families who in my almost 6 years of living here I’ve never seen them walking, but they are out here taking family walks and runs. Kids & I are no longer playing in front lest all the traffic lead to droplets flying our way.
The street snitch has called the cops, bo Karen are now turning around & running back. My neighbours have another family gathering going on, they are also getting in their cars & going. My kids are playing music so I am bored out of my skull, so I’m busy watching it all unfold.
The former brothel, where there was some kind of gathering happening is being cleared out. People getting in their cars & leaving. Police seem polite (I can’t hear what they are saying). Eish, someone just touched my gate 😑
Street clearing out now, so many people being cleared out moving with kids, there’s one who is like letting her cries out big time. Looks like she is refusing to get in the car, wants to play more.
Police gone, a car just came back to the former brothel, clearly he hadn’t gone far. Second car back. None of the drivers are getting out of the car. They are talking to the people inside while in their cars.
This is getting boring, so now I’m going to watch the windows I can see from my place & try figure out who is the street snitch. Given the good view they have of the street, I’m going to assume it’s either someone with a balcony or who lives on the high side.
Street is completely clear now & the game is boring without the kids, so I am just making a map of which houses have a view of my neighbour’s house (they’ve had the cops called for them twice now).
I’ll assume it’s someone/people from one of those places. When the kids are done, we’ll figure it out. I need them to finish soon, because wowza I am sooooo bored without them and my brain is too fried to read. And if I just sit down, I’m going to work & I need a break right now
