    (Btw, relieved, thought an ogre had scared you off!)

    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!

    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......:).

    Misophonia on radio four.

    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?

    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.

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

    Exactly - they'll live entirely off champagne and Marxist propoganda.

    How trick do you think the whole thing about bathroom safe lighting is?

    None of these say they are NOT bathroom safe. :)

    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?
