Glad you're enjoying the weather, Lyn.
Neighbours can be very annoying. Glad they're gone. I have had similar neighbours from the beginning of July. A couple with two children are here from the Gulf. They stay up all night long, playing, jumping, screaming and so on, till 2am and sometimes 3am. This keeps me wide awake all night long. (I might inform the POLICE, as the porter wasn't able to do much).
Happy anniversary Lyn and Lola!
Sorry to hear about your new neighbours Gillian, they can make life very miserable. Do other residents have the same trouble? Before involving the police maybe drop them a note and say that they may not realise it but the noise travels and is causing problems so could they quieten down at night. Then if that doesn't work at least you can say you've politely asked them but to no avail. Having said that they may not be approachable like my neighbours. :( I hope things settle down soon.

Hello everyone, I haven't had a chance to check in. Been crazy busy trying to see everyone here in Michigan Did have a enjoyable day on my sons boat. Not sure if it's a boat or a yacht. ๐Ÿคช It is 44' long, we were out in the Saginaw bay. If you look at the palm of your right hand. It would be the body of water between your hand and your thumb. Another day on the water tomorrow and then head back to Florida on Tues.

Good morning/afternoon all.
It's warmed up again today and dry. We've had some showers the last few days but we really could do with something more substantial - many trees are already shedding their leaves.
I've finally decided on my new laptop and heading to a store to buy it tomorrow. I'm fed up of looking.
The keyboard layout has changed on most new models with them swapping over the position of
@ and " - I don't know why they've done that but it will take a bit of getting used to.
I hope you're all well and having a good Tuesday.

Good afternoon Lyn, what laptop are you getting, just curious. Re: @ and ", why do they need to keep messing with things?
My Seymour is Up and out, having breakfast, then after the sun comes out, it will be out into the yard, for exercise. Been nasty here the last few days , , Windy, ARG! I hate the wind, would rather have it cold or hot.
It's Bird cage Tuesday, I have 4+ hrs of cleaning bird cages to do, it takes longer because they want to come down and help, and want some lovin & attention . . I mistreat my kids terribly ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿฆœ ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜

Hi Lyn and many thanks for your suggestion. However, this would not work in this part of the world (with my respect to everyone). The first thing they'd say is: "we are at home and we are "free" to do what we like.
Other residents do not care-a-less, don't know why.

Personally, I believe the police is the only solution with such rude, impolite people.

That is absolutely amazing - and what a great eye for detail !!! Even without a tortoise it is wonderful - what a talent !!!

No it ain't ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜. But it is confiscated until I get the one that's probably coming soon with a tortoise AND a bunny ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿข๐Ÿ˜

Even though I don't really like the fact that the little squirrel has figured out the bird feeder, he's not being a pig about it. He gets a snack and there's still plenty for everyone else too IMG_20220726_093217002.jpg

Joe painted a picture ๐Ÿ˜. I told him it wasn't good enough ๐Ÿ˜‚. Where is the tortoise?View attachment 347885
What an interesting imagination - christmas lights running from one outlet to another, apples with eyes hanging from an umbrella, swords and arrows stuck in the chair, a clock locked with a padlock - and is that your poor bunny being mummified?

I know ๐Ÿฅฐ hahaha so I gave him a hard time about leaving out my tort in the chaos. If he paints a bunny from now on he has to put a Tortoise somewhere ๐Ÿค” my rule.

I have trouble 'imagining' random numbers and symbols when I change my passwords and just look at what he's done! Every time I look at that picture I see something new.

A heatwave here in Jordan too. Temperature reached 37 degrees C in Amman today (98.6 degrees F) in Amman. Moreover, there will be a further rise in temperature tomorrow. We have been cautioned not to get exposed to the striking sun.
