Good morning all.

Another freezing start to the day. That's 21F in old money. Too blummin' cold again.

I live in the far south of the UK and, yet again, it's warmer right up north in Scotland than it is here. My phone says it's +1 with John. The weather is upside down!

I hope both Gillian and Suki are feeling better today

[Lyn W]

Hi Lyn, hope you and Lola are both fine, and many thanks your concern.

Hi Gillian hope you are feeling better now and that Oli has been looking after you.

 

[Lyn W]

awesome film, fabulous sound track!!!

im actually thinking of 'who wants to live forever' as a tattoo on my other arm

I'm having that as my epitaph.

 

[Lyn W]

I always wanted a tattoo but I don't know what I want.

Nooooo....... don't do it!

 

[Lyn W]

i'm the wrong person to ask, i act on impulse! have you not seen my bum?? lol, half the forum is scarred!

Noooo!....Don't do it!
I still have nightmares about the last time your bum flashed up on my screen!

 

[Lyn W]

So sorry Lyn.
Rational thinking when angry isn't my strong point.
A dialog that asserts myself as the alpha would have happened years ago.
Then if necessary TWO FOLD retaliation untill they submit.

I don't know how many conversations I have had with them about this lane over the years.
She has a new partner who moved in 2 years ago and he has never actually spoken to me but he has obviously believed all her lies about me and goes out of his way to try to intimidate me. He is a foul mouthed yob too. None of the other neighbours in the street can stand them either but they don't have the problems I have and I am reluctant to drag them into my battles.
There are 3 young lads renting the house the other side of me and they are quiet, polite, respectful and no problem at all, the others could learn a lot from them.
Anyway enough moaning from me today - it's Sunday so I should lighten up.

I just checked our local weather station. The "feels like" is -9.7C/14F

3C here no frost - quite tropical by comparison!

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning all - hope you all have a peaceful and enjoyable Sunday!

 

[Kristoff]

Hello roommates! Happy Sunday! Will be catching up with you soon x

 

[Kristoff]

Morning everyone!

We had a big frost last night so no weeds for spud today

I had to make do with what I had in the fridge- kale, chicory and florette crispy salad. So he's now lying with his legs stretched out enjoying his breakfast

Good morning all.
A very cold but bright morning here.

I'm going to have a little rant now and let off steam so apologies in advance.
I need to go out but my neighbours are up to their old tricks.
They have chopped down all the blackberry bushes behind the wall in the lane at the end of my garden again, which at this time of year isn't a massive loss as they have all shed their leaves and will grow again, but they are having their garden repaved at the moment and are dumping rubble on top of it all too.
They can't see the mess from their own garden but it is in full view of mine.
I am worried the old stone wall won't be able to take much more weight behind it.
Everything behind it has come from their house and garden over the years.
I may be being a bit oversensitive but this really is feeling like bullying - they only do the section at the end of my garden and leave the rest at the end of my other neighbours. They think they can do whatever they want without any consideration for my opinions or feelings. I avoid confrontation at all costs when I can as I am on my own without backup. They also only do things which they know will affect me, when I am in work so the damage is done when I get home.

I know I can contact environmental health about fly tipping again, but I feel as if I am in danger of looking as if I am one of these people who constantly complain.
I just don't know what to do anymore and it is really getting to me, to the point where I don't want to leave the house when they are 'active'. I can't avoid going to work and I'm usually a pretty calm person, but my anxiety levels are through the roof as I worry about what they are doing while I'm gone.
If anyone has any ideas (landmines not an option) please let me know.

So sorry to hear about your trouble, Lyn! Maybe Ed could stay at your place for a bit - to intimidate them into being civil? :/
