Well said Rob, when I visit friends at their places, I always check-in whether it is a Hello Miss Rose, or to someone at the desk who may not recognise us. We have always been more than welcome to sit on the porch or balcony, but I always try to remember that we are guests, even at our own place I like to show the other guests respect, as we might like to laugh the nite away, others prefer a good nites sleep and are early risers. Cheers!
