Ok well here is what happened. I went out to my car to get my case in from the boot, and said next door neighbour walks out of his front door at the same time.
I thought bollocks I am for the high jump now!! But instead he just nodded and walked off, not even a neighbourly pleasantry about how changeable the June weather is or anything.
He then gets the lawnmower out, and I watch out of the back window in desperation as I hear him making his way up and down, up and down, and then THWUMP as he runs over the large dried up cat turd in the middle of the lawn
I couldn't watch after that and ran back downstairs and put Embarrassing Illnesses on just for something to do. (Wished I hadn't).
I then heard him filling the watering can down the side of his house, and thought arse he's going in the back garden again, so I quickly ran indoors, and out of the back door, keeping my head down so they couldn't see me (it's a 6 foot fence but somehow it seemed necessary )
I heard the watering sound come nearer and I could feel my heart pounding, and then my neighbour shouts 'Julie? Have you done any weeding?' and Julie from inside the house goes 'No, why?' and neighbour says 'There's a pile of dead weeds in the flowerbed' and THEN, Julie said 'Bob must have dropped them when he was tidying up' and neighbour says 'Oh'
And that, ladies and gents, seems to be it! No comment at ALL about the cat poo, despite volume and mouldiness, but they noticed the weeds! Thank the Lord for Bob, whoever you are I love you
By the way though, I wouldn't hesitate to do it all again, but I think I will make sure I have the right neighbour this time
