    Good to pop in and find the lodger is back and you are enjoying time with friends
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Glad you have the lodger back and that she is such a kind person 😃
    Id be wary of submitting a complaint too….if it is said neighbour who has reported you for nothing I dread to think what the retaliation might be if they suspected you of reporting the wall. It’s so sad to have to think that way but sadly seems the way of things 😡
    Hope you had a lovely celebration for your friend’s birthday. 
    Enjoy the nice weather although it has been much cooler today….its more my sort of weather as I’m definitely not a sun worshipper. I like it warm but last week was pushing my limits.
