..Because apparently I am a heathen.
I live quite near my Mum, she comes over for a coffee several times a week, I work from home and this is absolutely fine however she came over one morning last week at around 08:30 am and my curtains were still drawn.
Most weekdays I get up around 06:00, walk the dog go to the gym, get home shower and start work at 09:00. It was still dark when I got up but obviously not by the time I got home.
My friend owns a nightclub in the nearest city. I used to work there on a weekend while studying. Some Saturday nights if I am free, I go to see friend, have a few drinks and help tidy up, look after the staff (he has acts on often)do anything that needs doing. He doesn't close until 04:00-05:00 so sometimes I get home and It's early hours of the morning-I don't open my curtains when I get home and am generally still asleep at daybreak-again my Mum had driven to my house around 10:00 and I was just getting up, my curtains still drawn.
This is very unacceptable apparently, 'people will think It's a dosshouse' etc etc.
I live in a very quiet private road, next to no foot traffic, not sure if this makes a difference but I am damned if I am getting home at 04:00 and getting up again at 07:00 (ish) just to open my bloody curtains-and should I just open them while It's still dark if I am heading off to walk my dog/gym before daybreak?
I am not the most observant with house situations-if a neighbour of mine didn't open their curtains I doubt I'd notice unless it had been days on end.
