    That's horrible @wild edges . I was rather worried that our new neighbours might put a hot tub in their back garden, keeping fingers crossed, but as theirs is on a much lower level than ours, doubt whether we'd get any spray. it would be the noise that would really annoy me.

    Their new hot tub isn't as bad as the old one. This one just hums constantly, it's a low noise but it's loud enough that I can hear it while lying in bed. The old one was a lot louder and went through some sort of noisy cleaning cycle daily with helpful beeping at intervals until someone came and turned it off.

    What kind of people want to sit together in a bath in their garden?
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Dunno ... it’s what our frogs do on sunny afternoons. 😉

    Wouldn't expect any better from foreigners.  Oh, sorry you meant the ones that live in the pond. :D

    Going round to our surgery wouldn't make the process any quicker.  There is always a queue in there of people wanting to make appointments too.  They have 3 desks, "Appointments", "General Enquiries", and "Prescriptions".  I have only ever seen the "Appointments" desk staffed once in all the time I have been attending their 'super surgery'.

    Hollywood is coming to my street this weekend. Well UK cinema anyway. We've had a notice through the door that they're filming in our street on Saturday and because it's a film set in the early 2000s they'd like everyone to move their cars for the day. I'm only grumpy because my house seems to be the only one that won't be in shot and everyone else gets £20 for moving their car. Also one of our cars is old enough not to need moving  :#

    They're also filming inside my next door neighbours' house (the hot tub people) so I hope they're not going to ask me not to be out in the garden that day. I have jobs to get done.

    Maybe they could pay you not to be out there?   Worth much more than 20 quid if you plan to be out there a lot.

    Good point. They could fund a trip to the garden centre if it was worth my while popping out o:)

    wild edges, a guy I used to work with became an extra for Dr Who yesterday.  They are filming at Gloucester Cathedral and he decides to sit and watch.  One of the production crew said he was in shot so could he either move or 'just act naturally' as if nothing was going on.  As he's a huge fan of all things Sci Fi he decided to stay put and is now praying his big moment won't be cut from the final show.
