#105 Spy on your neighbors
I have a neighbor who is an artist and drives the tram. I have a neighbor who has a child who screams / prattles every morning and evening. I have a neighbor who has some kind of disturbance. I have a neighbor who loves to listen to P1 so loud that I hear the cultural ladies inhaling before a new sentence. I have a neighbor who fights with his wife about socialism. I have a neighbor whose children are listening to my band. I have a neighbor who is from Skåne. I have a neighbor who's been on sick leave for I don't know how long. I have a neighbor who engages in shady transactions. I have a neighbor who likes reggae.
Required time:
Five minutes a day for a week to get a fairly good picture of the people who live near you.
Cost:
Treat yourself to a pair of binoculars, a notebook and the old trick with the glass against the wall to hear better works most excellently.
Cons:
If someone catches you it can get quite ugly. You may discover that your neighbor is a serial killer.
Pros:
You can get enough material for an entire novel. You may discover that your neighbor is a serial killer and do something about it.
