Green-eyed Monster Thinks she sees Green Fingers
Watching the moving van empty and the house fill I was jealous of my new neighbour before she’d even moved in.
I didn’t exactly spy on her but when I closed my bedroom curtains I could see her kitchen. A basil plant on the windowsill, so big it almost blocked my view. I could imagine her life: homemade pizza, pasta sauces and salads. All with fresh leaves from that enviable plant.
A few months after moving in she invited me over for dinner. Deliveroo arrived just after me. We ate in the kitchen; a plastic basil plant hovering over us.

I can just imagine the speed of transition from green-eyes to browned off when she didn’t get a gold star homemade culinary creation!

Hehehe.... I loved it. Things we imagine of other people 😊though, I would have ordered from Deliveroo before and transformed the food in home-made looking food (I have done it before LOL)...
