My neighbours have already started breaching social distancing/lockdown restrictions. They've had different people round sitting in the garden almost every day this week.
The woman is the type that always speaks in a self consciosly loud booming voice, broadcasting everything she has to say in the mistaken belief that every word she utters is so fascinating to others. Whenever she's on the phone she always goes out into her back garden and puts her phone on speaker so we always have to endure both sides of the conversation. And when they have their frequent get togethers with friends which are always played out in the garden she will emit her loud forced laugh at regular intervals as if she's desperate to let all her neighbours know what a fabulous and uproarious time she's having.
Her whole existence is like one big performance which she plays out in the mistaken belief that we will be somehow impressed or envious of the social whirlwind of her existence.
Of course their recent frequent breaches of lockdown restrictions are not done with any sense of discretion or shame but are played out with full force and effect in their back garden to ensure that all the neighbours will hear them, with the inherent message she is trying so hard to convey being, "look how popular we are, our friends are so desperate to see us that they are even prepared to risk death and the dessimation of mankind just to be in our company".
I think underneath it all lies a desperately insecure woman. There is no hostility between us but that's only because we don't want to live with the added unpleasantness of an ongoing neighbourly feud. But Christ I wish she would just shut up. She talks non stop. There is no problem with them playing loud music, but I almost wish there was. Anything to drown out the sound and tone of her voice. Maybe the only reason she doesn't play music is because she thinks it will prevent people from being able to hear her and her entourage. She'd hate for us to be missing out.
