I have been a happier bunny ..

I couldn't go to my bird class because mum was awful this morning though she got better through the day. However she's been up three times already since going to bed.

Meanwhile I have opened the post which arrived while I was away .. it seems the neighbour who I speak to about once a year, has plans. We spoke just before I went away - he told me he would be putting a fence up between our two gardens, which was fine.

Now I have found out why. He's applied for planning permission to build four detached houses with garages in the land behind his house and the one on the other side of him which he bought last year.

Sneaky .. I'll go in to look at the plans - I don't relish the noise of building works or the proximity of neighbours to what has been a fairly private garden.

I also got a letter from DWP Notification of Local Services Compliance Visit announcing a visit on Friday ...
