Ah, neighbours! What would we do without them?

When there's a test match, one of my neighbours mows his substantial lawn.

Without fail.

Today, I was going to do something in the garden and he was trimming his
substantial leylandii hedge with a petrol-driven hedge cutter.

Other times he has some infernal tape machine regaling me with Dolly
Parton, Jim Reeves, etc, and '50s rock. Hell! He's even older than I am,
and, would you believe, rather more than slightly deaf.

Today also, his neighbours the other way were treated to thick
grey-brown smoke from one of his frequent bonfires.

Neighbours?

Same neighbour that got my very elderly cat put down. Cat had never put
her
foot outside for years, 25 yrs old. but when she was outside looking for me
when I got hospital emergency admission she was collected up by someone
passing by, put down before I could rescue her.
I was gutted.


There's a law against that.
