Day 1: Finding out more about my neighbour

In my quest to get to my neighbourhood, I have begun to meet and greet my neighbours more often.  In my first day, I began to walk around my townhouse building and start conversations with a lady watering her garden.  I introduced myself to her and she was quite surprised at first.  I informed her of my townhouse unit and began to tell her that I would like to know more about my neighbourhood. 

She was receptive to my introduction.  We chatted about our jobs (in my case, my lack of job), and about the changes of neighbourhood.  I have found out that she works in a nursing home and that she is an avid gardener.  We continued to talk a bit more while she was watering her plants.  She showed me some of her favourite plants.

Before I left, I offer to her that if she ever needs help with computer, she is more than welcome to ask me.

It's a great first day to get to know the people in my neighbourhood.
