We've lived here for over a year now. All of the neighbours seem really friendly and inclusive, but the bloke next door I just can't work him out.
He will have lenghty discussions with DH in the street but as good as ignores me. Prime example: last night I am out watering plants and I see NDN approaching his gate. I say "Evening X, how're you?" he goes "Fine." and goes into his house. THEN I have to push a note through his door as the company who are supplying our back garden fencing called to say they are coming friday to fit it. So I write a friendly note saying "Hi X, just to let you know that our new fencing is coming on friday, the men fitting it will have to use the shared access (terraced house), hope this is OK? Do you have any preference with regards to treatment colour? If so, let me know. Thanks! Marmalade"
Got a note back saying "Hi MR TWATKINS, (not adressed to ME, the note writer!) All fine for friday! Thanks for letting me know, X"
I'm being touchy, aren't I?
