I was sitting and noticed a man across the road, walking down the side of one of the houses. He was dressed as a postman, but definitely not the postman for our street - he was much younger and a little shorter than our postie. Anyway, he seemed to take an interest in the area at the side of the house where the wheelie bins are. I guessed he was maybe looking for personal mail for the purposes of identity theft or something. He soon moved from there though.
I watched with much more concentration as he turned his attention to the front door. He struggled with the lock but managed to get the door open

It was then that I realised what sort of activity was going on in broad daylight, right here, in our street.
Our neighbour across the road is a postman.
