Our situation reminds me of my mother's story about old houses belonging to my great aunts and an uncle in Rockhampton being so close you could hear the neighbour's scrape their pudding bowls. Indeed, the affordable houses in pre-War Queensland were built so close you could almost touch the neighbour's wall if you leant out a window. Must remember to eat my Connoisseur ice cream quietly in future.
