Fire?
Ooh, drama next door – a fire engine pulled up a few minutes ago with lights flashing, and they went into the house with a hose. No sign of any smoke or anything, though, and there doesn’t seem to be any major sense of urgency about proceedings, so I assume it’s nothing major. I don’t know those neighbours well enough to go over and be nosy, I mean, a concerned caring neighbour checking they’re ok.
Looks like they’re packing up to go now anyway, so whatever the excitement was, it’s obviously over.
