    Jenny,he's nosy. He isn't security minded as far as anyone else goes. He gives the impression of something to hide. Highly likely, because of various "improvements" made without planning authority or building regs being involved.(removing and erecting walls no RSJs involved! Laughable "foundations". Our garage is double locked,on a regularly used road to shops. Unfortunately, the window overlooks his garden. We just use it for storage. He knows what my daughter looks like. She is storing stuff for Thursday move. I was waiting for him to ask if WE,were moving. Tempting to say "yes,to get away from the neighbours) but better to join him at his own game and be cagey. He's unawares what goes on outside, the garden is testament to that!!!

    I suppose you could put something up over the inside of the window if you don't want him peering in, but he'd probably just assume you have something to hide.

    I'd put an old mirror in the window so that he could observe himself observing.

    Not sure if I should be curmudgeonly about this or not. What would sheep farmers be spraying (dusty) on the grass at the moment, the ewes and lambs are still in the field? Whatever it is I don't fancy breathing it in and have closed the windows.

    I like the idea of a mirror haha! It's a big window,no window sill or opener.

    I suggested a weekend away to my wife a few weeks ago and said I'd really like to go but she didn't think it would be suitable for the kids until they're a bit older. Yesterday she said I should still go and she was happy to stay at home with the kids on her own. I'm sure it's a trap of some kind. :| 
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Sounds suspicious to me. Tread carefully.

    She may just be sick of the sight of me :)

    So long as you're sure you can take the consequences of the: "Remember when you went............ and I .......... Well I would like to.........." conversation.
