Hello! So we meet once more.
Yes, it's nice to see you again.
You haven't shaved yet!
No. I thought I'd just chat to you first.
Yes, I enjoy our morning talks.
D'you think other old men do this?
What do you mean?
Talk to each other through the bathroom mirror.
Oh I'm sure they do, it's a good start to the day.
Yes, I agree, but I wonder what my neighbours must think.
My bathroom window, which is nearly always ajar, is only a few
feet away from the fence which separates me from them
when they sit out on their terrace.
They must wonder, knowing I live alone, who I have these
conversations with.
Yes,, isn't it a coincidence? My feelings exactly. Through my
bathroom window, when it's open, I can hear my neighbours
chatting on their terrace which is on the other side of my fence.
We share many coincidences like that, don't we?
Yes we do, but it's time I was up and about, showered, shaved,
dressed, and breakfasted. I think we should say cheerio for today.
We don't want to upset our neighbours, do we?
No, I suppose not. Until tomorrow then.
Yes, until tomorrow.

Hmmmm, I can almost guarantee a large amount of woman do this too! I don't even need a mirror. Infact, less mirrors the better, I hate looking at myself!
