    I may have left out a couple of letters  :/

    Thanks all. It'll work itself out, no doubt, but there's enough real trouble in the world without making more up just for the sake of it.

    Meh

    I wonder sometimes what it must be like to be the sort of person who constantly creates bad feeling all around themselves, like punkdoc's ex NDN. They must think everyone in the world is permanently angry. Like we can be up on the hill on a sunny morning and look down into thick fog in the Exe Valley and think 'they all probably think it's dark and cloudy today'. I must try to rise above it.

    Sorry mine's a lightweight moan but, we have been away a few days and now the bl**dy pigeons think our garden belongs to them, one in particular only goes if I  go right down the garden 😖

    I wish it was only pigeons I had to sort out.  I've had a jackdaw and a magpie on my bird feeder.  Actually fascinating watching the jackdaw trying to get to the suet block.  He's too big to land on it and couldn't reach it from the tray I put meal worms on.  He finally worked out that he could hold on to the vertical part of the feeder and reach the suet by stretching to his limit.  They are smart birds.

    After all that effort, he deserves his reward. However, this does not apply to parakeets who are also too clever by half.

    I'm exhausted. I'm looking forward to a few days in work to recover from my holiday :( 
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Hubby walked to shops for bread,saw a bloke from over the road dump his garden waste on the green area by the shops, completely blatantly, not even bothering to wait till dark! Second, update on neighbour I complained about putting stuff on our garage. Now bearing in mind, the ridiculous ott security devices, cameras,never opened a curtain in 10 years,we were putting stuff in our garage,he came and looked in the (garage) window,saw me and waved. I was fuming,old man couldn't understand why.!!

    Given that your neighbour seems to be paranoid about security @Nanny Beach , maybe he caught a glimpse of movement in the garage and came to check that it was you and not someone who'd broken in. On the other hand, maybe he's just a nosy so-and-so. If you wanted to block his view you could put something up on the inside of the window.

    I suppose a positive about nosy neighbours is the security aspect.
