The doctor next door has had a couple of always-on lights installed in his back yard, replacing the motion-sensitive ones that primarily served to let me know if a cat was wandering around out there while I was cooking. I assume this is a crazed overreaction to that burglar climbing up the shared fire escape on to our roof a few months ago, and the police cutting through the padlock on the doctor’s back gate so they could haul him away once they’d talked him down
