Nope, just slave labouring outside.
I don't get in a bad mood very often, so I'm going to make myself a nice cuppa, go outside for a sneaky fag, and stop whinging!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
If you had flowers instead of weeds wouldn't rats eat them too? Its a weird complaint tbh.
Do you aspire to garden it in the future? Even the tiniest out door space can be stunning......:).0 -

I misread that originally as misophobia, and I thought that I too fear over-salted Japanese soup.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

I'd have thought so, and our neighbour on the grounds-floor-back who has the other half of the yard has a gorgeous jungle of stuff there. I think the complaint (anonymous) is from an anally-retentive type upstairs, who also complained when we first moved in that we didn't have curtains up in our living room and that it "made the block look like a council estate".
We do intend to have it as a nice courtyard garden, but not until the rats are sorted....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Will the rats ever be fully sorted ? Do you have black boxes down? Or are you too kind for that?0 -

Bathrooms have zones, and the lighting you can use depend on which zone you are in:

You may be able to use chosen lights in what was zone 3.
Best thing would be to ask nice builder.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Technically its a zone 3 but think everything is meant to be zone two now?0
