Neighbours

I would like to apologise to my neighbours who I offended during my drinking days. What started off as a quick visit to borrow a cigarette became much more disruptive. I would often go to my neighbours’ houses late at night and wake them up in a bid for more alcohol and manic interaction. I am ashamed of this and feel it is necessary to acknowledge it here. The elderly couple who tolerated this behaviour, even facilitated it because of their own loneliness, are still friends. Now that I am responsible, I keep an eye on them as they are rapidly reaching old age and this involves a twice weekly foot massage (for my elderly old friend not me!) rather than a midnight boozing binge.
