Getting over it

The shock of a second speeding ticket is receding (many thanks to Mayor on SHA for his words of encouragement on that score).

Whisper it quietly, but things might be looking better regarding next door. Tonight's episode started badly as I watched them - acutely aware I was Mr Nosy Neighbour - piling up their rubbish into the back of one of their cars before vanishing into the night to dump it somewhere or other. I then went to the people who live the other side of them who are our allies in this battle to discover that it's been suggested next door has been served a notice of eviction. I'll believe it when I see them finally leave (and hopefully the landlord will learn a hard, financial lesson in not vetting his tenants properly), but it makes me feel a little bit better to think there might a chink of light at the end of a very dark tunnel, especially if it makes it more viable for us to sell our house and move...

Oh, and naturally I've emailed the council to inform them of what I witnessed. No point being a nosy neighbour unless you shop them, eh?
