Many of the houses in my cul-de-sac seem to be student shares.
Yesterday afternoon I was in the kitchen making a cup of tea and I could hear a rhythmic thumping sound through the wall. There has been a lot of maintenance work going on in that house - a student house - so I thought at first it was that. But I could hear voices apparently chanting in time to the beat.
I sat down to watch a film I'd recorded off Talking Pictures but after about fifteen minutes the doorbell went. It was a young woman I recognised as living next door. She was apologising in advance. They are actors next door, she said, and they were about to practise their fighting and there could be a lot of screaming.
As it happened, I actually heard nothing more from next door after that. The stairs act as a buffer between my living room and the dividing wall. But it later occurred to me that this could be a great plot for a TV crime show. A group of criminals use the cover of being actors to explain away the sounds of someone being murdered. She was even wearing a mask.
