There seemed to have been a lot of rain here before I got up, and the wind was very strong and gusty. It had stopped raining though so I took my chance to get out for a quick walk to the station for my Metro. (It was too windy to get the bike out!)
I just checked - we have had more rain since then, but it has stopped again and the wind has dropped. I can even see some blue sky as the sun is setting.
The noise from next door seems to be being made by builders rather than the householders themselves. Hopefully that means the work will be completed more quickly!
The owner of
dog-the-size-of-a-pony has let it crap bang in the middle of the pavement again and not picked it up. Once again, they didn't even bother dragging it 1 metre to the gutter... Why bother, eh, when there is a perfectly decent pedestrian path to cover with excrement? It's a bloody good job that I don't actually witness this happening or I could very easily get involved in a horrible
neighbours-from-hell battle. (Scooping up the damn sh*t with a shovel and throwing it over their fence into their yard, then getting into a fight about that...)
I strongly suspect that I do know who is responsible. There are a couple of very large husky-like dogs owned by a family down the road. I sometimes see the dogs being taken on a tour of the local streets. I haven't see any other dogs round here big enough to produce those mounds. Still, suspicion is not proof, and it is probably better that I
don't find out who is responsible!
