My goodness. We may moan about the people who back on to us, but they're nothing like those you've mentioned.

There are some people, like the bank manager, who think they've been slighted or are 'entitled' and better than everyone else. Others seem to think that consideration for the neighbours is something that applies to others. :-(

Luckily in our close we have no problems with noise or neighbours. I often wonder if the bank manager is bothering other people these days, I am sure there was something mentally wrong with him. We just felt sorry for his little girl.

Evening everyone :-)

Another hot one :-) :-) :-) It has been a pleasant temperature in the office, other than when the air con kicked in on and off, then it was 'put on a cardigan time' as the air vent is above my head :-D :-D

The hedges have been trimmed today, but for some reason, he has left the side privet between me and my neighbour. He may have run out of time as he is booked for two hours, so I will have wait now until his next visit unless R comes to do it for in the meantime. The hawthorn looks good now it is all spruced up. It was alive with greenfly though and I have sprayed it twice already.

Evening YG I would love to sit under an aircon vent. I am hot bothered and very very grumpy with this rotten heat :-| :-| :-| :-| :-|

It's rather chilly under it, LG :-D :-D :-D You would soon need to put something on to take the chill off, then take it off when it's reached temperature :-D :-D I tried to sit out when I got home, but it was still way too hot. There is a nice breeze now, so I may have a quick 10 mins when I've eaten. I love summer, but I have to admit that this much heat floors me :-| :-|

Last night was certainly sticky. I might put the fan on tonight. It didn't feel bad when I went to bed, but woke up in a real lather at 2.30am.

A nice sunny day of around 17-18 degs suits me. :-) :-) :-)

I was so knackered after the gardening yesterday that I slept all night for a change

When it's hot, too hot, you don't feel the benefit.

I used to love it years ago, but not now. It makes me sweat until it is running down my face and neck and into my eyes if I try to do anything in the heat. I still don't want winter yet though, thank you :-D :-D

I used to take a peek while I was supposed to be having a bath. I often wonder whether she twigged, because it disappeared and I never did find it to finish reading it

I considered writing a semi autobiography about 20 years ago. Then I thought who would believe that. In part it would resemble Stephen King's Misery :-D :-D ;-)
