Mowing the lawn

[hau kola]

I had planned a mega lie in this morning as ive been getting up at 5.30 for work and not sleeping very well.
Well, our neighbour decided otherwise when he chose to mow his lawn at 8.30.
Is it normal to mow your lawn at that time of day?I personally would check to see if bedroom curtains were open or not.And what time at night is it ok to mow?

What a boring question

Hi hau!
8.30pm? Thought you meant 8.30am, was going to say I would have left it till 9.30.

[sara3]

it's too early!

if you're usually up at 5.30am I suggest you start hoovering ;o)

[hau kola]

Hi sachs and sara.Yes i meant 8.30am.

Hes not a very conciderate neighbour but his wife is lovely so i wouldnt want to wake her up at 5.30.

[Sachs]

Lob some cat excrement over next time he's mowing, then run!

[hau kola]

Ive seen him with a catapalt so i`d worry he`d take it out on my cats. I`d kill him if he did.

[Lakitu]

My neighbour does the same! He's retired so I don't see why he can't do it at the crack of dawn on a week day when I'm up and away for work anyway!

I keep my bedroom window open and this guy smokes but out his back garden, not in his house and quite often I wake up to the smell of smoke filtering through my open window, would it be very rude of me to ask him to smoke out his front door?

[karmgirl]

I personally would check peoples windows to see if curtains were open, I think most considerate people would. Does he do this a lot?

[sara3]

morning Lakitu :o)

I'd ask him if he could move away from your window. I'm sure he doesn't realise the smoke drifts your way.. ewwww, horrible!

[Lakitu]

Hiya Sara :o) x

I feel like I'm being rude if I even mention it, it's his garden after all LOL.

I'll maybe get up and BBQ kippers one morning the wind is blowing the way of his bedroom LOL

[hau kola]

I must say he doesn`t do it that often.I think he saves it for when i want a lie in which isn`t very often either.

A couple of months ago, it was the first day of my holidays, again, i was having a lie in, and he started hammering at 6.45.

[sara3]

hey Hau, my strange neighbour hammers at 1am sometimes. he's just put his house on the market and I'm delighted, so I'm hoping whatever he's doing will increase the chance of him selling up and going!

[hau kola]

Hi Lakitu,hope youre well.

I too smoke in the garden as i dont want the smell n the house or my daughter breathing it in.

I wouldnt be offended if my neighbours wife asked me not to smoke in the garden, its big enough to move to the other end.If HE asked me though.....................

[hau kola]

Oops, morning karmgirl, didnt see you there.

Yes, its a pity not everybody is as conciderate as you or i.

[Drisgirl]

I wouldnt do that but my husband who is up at 6 every morning even when hes home thinks nothing of hoovering and cuttimng the grass at whatever time -he has no consideration for me nor for my neighbours.
He thinks cos he is up them everyone should be.Bleeding irritating.
He smokes outside as well -but leaves the back door open so the smoke wafts back in -blleding irritating.
Also as my house is on the street I have people stopping to chat outside my livingroom window with no consideration to me having to smell thweir smoke and not be able to hear anything for them -they would be as well being in my living room -I have to say I would never have considered that before I bought this house though so I'll let them off that one. phew -thats better !!

[Lakitu]

Hiya Hau :o)

Right, I'll just bite the bullet and ask him to move elsewhere in his garden then, I hope he doesn't take offence and stop taking my bin out every Wednesday! LOL :o) x

[hau kola]

lol Dris, glad you feel better after gettin that off your chest.

Lakitu, it really could go either way.Smokers are getting annoyed at not being able to smoke in public places.Your neighbour might think hes even getting grief for smoking at home.

Good luck with it.

[helliebobs]

I ****** myself laughing at your FB status though Hau!!! :)

[hau kola]

Lol hellie, my daughter didnt.

[China Doll]

Is there not some sort of law about this that says you can't make noise like this before 8am? I swear I read this somewhere once!

[hau kola]

I think there probably is China but this was 8.30.
I was just miffed cos i hadnt had a lie in for ages and any idiot could see my curtains were drawn.
He`s just a very inconciderate neighbour.
