[00:05.28]
[00:17.31]	We were sitting in the living room on the sofa, the wrong way round, looking out the window.
[00:21.44]	It was quiet, and then in the car park across the road we saw Elvis - look, there beside the postman's van,
[00:28.24]
[00:29.32]	and he was walking round the postman's van, looking in the open door.
[00:33.91]
[00:34.53]	He looked as if he was thinking about getting in, but then the postman came back, and he swaggered off,
[00:38.97]
[00:40.40]	walked past the window and down the stairs, and then at the bottom of the stairs right by the caretaker's office,
[00:45.91]	he started licking the pavement.
[00:46.52]
[00:49.52]	Every night now since we moved in that new house there's this noise outside the door at just about half seven or eight o' clock every night.
[00:58.65]	And if we go and look outside the door, Elvis'll be standing there waiting to be let in.
[01:03.79]
[01:06.10]	And then he wanders into the living room, maybe sits down on one of the chairs or even lies down on the floor.
[01:10.92]
[01:11.98]	He doesn't say much, he just stays there for an hour or two, watching the TV.
[01:16.05]
[01:16.98]	We talk to him a bit, and then around ten o' clock, he'll go away again, and not come back until the next night.
[01:23.62]
[01:30.18]	There's a lot of lanes and stuff around here, around the house - although it's right in the middle of the city
[01:35.50]	it seems quite like the country, it's dead hidden - safe I suppose, made for night living.
[01:40.56]
[01:42.25]	There's a lot of squirrels and birds, and Stuart says he's seen about nine foxes there
[01:49.06]
[01:50.25]	when he's jumped over the fence on his way to Prior's Road.
[01:52.69]
[01:54.75]	Sometimes you can go out walking, and when you've been out for a wee while even you don't know where you are anymore,
[01:59.44]	so it would be pretty hard for anyone else to find you.
[02:02.63]
[02:03.58]	I suppose that's why he spends so much time there, that's why he's come to live there, or maybe it's just the squirrels.
[02:10.27]	I read about somewhere that he likes squirrels quite a lot.
[02:13.97]
[02:16.85]	There's these two videos that we got for wedding presents - called the e-files
[02:20.66]	e-files one and e-files two about how Elvis is supposed to be still alive.
[02:23.68]
[02:27.24]	And one time when he came round we were watching one of those, but he didn't say anything he just sat on the armchair.
[02:32.07]	He was playing with his collar a bit, and we watched it right through and then when it finished
[02:36.82]	he just got up and walked off into the mist and didn't say anything.
[02:40.01]
[02:43.14]	The first few times he came round I didn't speak to him at all, I wasn't really sure what to say.
[02:49.51]
[02:50.20]	And Karen spoke to him quite a lot - she seemed to know what to do more than I do.
[02:54.45]	He had quite a strange manner though, he'd go into your stuff and look through it,
[02:58.70]
[02:59.45]	then he'd maybe pick something up and play with it for a wee while, but he'd never make any comment about any of it.
[03:04.92]	Seemed pretty rude to me.
[03:06.42]
[03:07.16]	I just watched whatever Karen did, and listened to how she talked to him and then,
[03:11.41]	after a while I started to copy that, and tell him a few things,
[03:15.23]
[03:16.35]	not really bothered about whether he responded or said anything back or not.
[03:20.36]
[03:22.29]	I think the first time I spoke to him we were sitting up on the mezzanine and I said that I would tell him about me and wee Karen,
[03:28.67]	and how it was that we'd come to be living there.
[03:31.87]	I thought he probably liked the fact that we were living there because he came round so much,
[03:35.77]	so I thought he might want to know how it was that it came about.
[03:38.43]
[03:40.25]	We did it all over backwards, I told him.
[03:42.18]
[03:42.75]	First of all we got to know each other, and then a while after that we met,
[03:46.87]
[03:47.50]	and when we'd known each other for about seven years we decided to have an anniversary,
[03:50.64]
[03:52.33]	and that went quite well, so after the anniversary we had a honeymoon, and that went well too,
[03:57.83]
[03:59.10]	so after that we decided that we would get married.
[04:01.11]
[04:02.29]	That's why we're living there now. I used to think my dad was Elvis, but I haven't told him that yet.
[04:12.79]	I haven't told my dad either...
