    Sorry to hear about the horrible man.  Hope you get a response from the police.

    A quick early morning one. No sign of him last night or this morning except he came out of his house on his way to work just as we were getting to our front door. This wouldnt have been a problem but he is a motor cyclist and always comes out in leathers and crash helmet which Bear does not like. So I just got him in the house quickly and all was well.
    I have been thinking about the timing of all the incidents we have had with him and his dog and they have, I think, all have been on Friday night or at the weekend. To me that suggests alcohol is the problem.

    Nothing from the police yet but last time we had a prolem it took about a fortnight as they are "very busy". If I was being cynical I would say thats because of all the motorists who need to be caught doing 32mph in a 30mph area.Yes they do and I had to attend a speed awareness course because of it.

    I think you might have hit the nail on the head there re the neighbour. Probably alcohol - or drugs - or both! Are you keeping a note of dates and times the incidents happen?

    Well done on getting the pond done.  Hope you have a well-deserved rest today!

    Thanks beanie. I am trying to space things out and to be fair Mr LH did most of the work yesterday. My plan for today are some ironing and finishing the plant baskets. Oh and throwing a few thingsin my suitcase to take to bils tomorrow. Thursday and Friday  shouldnt be too arduous as I just have the 3 estate agents coming Thursday and the contents valuer on Friday and the travelling is over two days. I often sleep on the leg between Bath and Southampton which is the longest of the three.

    Evening all.

    Everyone planned has been done and I am now looking forward to being up at 5.30am to get the train in the morning. I have packed except the odd things like phone charger (I wont have a TV so that will be my entertainment tomorrow evening plus a book.) and my hairbrush. 

    The weather has been wet for part of the day. I actually did the pond baskets in the rain but needed to get them done before being away tomorrow and Friday. I will be leaving bils as soon as  the valuer leaves but I have no idea how long he will be there. The trains are only hourly and then it will be a 3hour ish journey so hopefully home by late afternoon on Friday.

    Have a good couple of days.
