After you've lived in a country for a while, you get some repeat experiences, which is nice. So when I got a hand towel in the mailbox on Tuesday, I knew what was coming.
It meant that a neighbour was having work done on their house. The towel is an upfront apology for any inconvenience the work might cause you. I presume the construction companies provide them as a usual part of their customer service.

And sure enough, the very next morning, as I was eating breakfast in my pjs, workmen started putting up scaffolding on the house directly behind ours.
Now our view of the house is obscured by fine netting.
There is satisfaction in understanding some of the unusual things about this "adopted" country.
