To wonder why she's never offered me at least a cup of tea?

Our neighbour is in and out of our house on quite a regular basis looking for a chat, help with cat feeding, to offer DD some of her surplus craft stuff - all sorts of reasons. I think she's lonely, and I don't mind as she's very pleasant and I like her. We always offer her a cup of tea/coffee, glass of wine, snack etc. depending on time of day and she always accepts.

We occassionally need to pop in on her for minor things and never once has she offered us even a glass of water. Today I popped round with a parcel that had been left with me as she was out. She invited me in, asked me to sit at kitchen table for a chat, made herself a cup of tea and didn't even ask if I'd like one.

AIBU to think this is odd

I don't agree with the north/south divide theory - have lived both & have found gems & weirdos alike. or the people who are single theory - I find that quite patronising to single people. You choose to live alone therefore you don't live a trad mn life & automatically obtain 10 cats, a perpetual smell of wee & an autistic demeanor - um no
Some people are just strange end of, embrace the spice of life :)
