Reece next door is up to something. He's lived in Unit 3 as long as we've been here but we rarely see him. At times, we've speculated that he is a fly in - fly out worker at some mining camp, and that explains why he never seems to be here, but I met his father one day and he told me that Rhys works a typical 9 to 5 job, but 'keeps to himself'. I notice that I've spelt his name two different ways and that underlines how mysterious he is.
However, he's clearly up to something. The other day, he was busily working around the yard, in full view of anyone wandering by. He hosed down the walls of the unit and washed all the windows. He put up a large number 3 on the front wall. What's going on?
This morning, I can hear the sound of various tools, and his head is popping up over the top of the fence. There's clearly work being carried out. No doubt, Marilyn will come up with a plausible explanation but I can't imagine what it will be.
