He hasn't noticed the change in their behaviour yet, however, as first thing this morning he told me he was going into the village to 'stake out the High Street'.
I've only ever heard the expression 'Stakeout' in TV crime dramas, where it means something like 'case the joint for a burglary' so I was concerned W might be considering a life of crime. He allayed my fears, however, by explaining that it is a term used by Surveyors when they're measuring a building site.
When he got to the High Street he started crossing the road in a big, exaggerated stride — almost goose-stepping — and counting his paces aloud.
When he reached the far side he'd record the number of paces on his clip-board, turn round and repeat the process.
As usual, I've no idea what's going on — but I do know I probably won't approve...
