It's been a while since my neighbours annoyed me, so perhaps I should have seen this coming. But why is it that their blazing rows always happen in the early hours of the morning when some of us have got to go to work soon?

1.30am: cue the front door next door slamming, which is always a bad sign. Followed by arguing voices through the party wall - I'm not sure if this is the same girlfriend as previously (the one who ought to have kicked the arse in question to the kerb because of the way he spoke to her) or a different one but the song remains the same. Loud arguing followed by a stream of choice profanities from her and then the front door slams again. I live in hope that this will be the end of it all, as if she has any backbone to speak of she's calling for a taxi and getting the hell out of there.

Instead, I get the girlfriend sitting on the doorstep next door sobbing into her phone for 10 minutes, followed by the arrival of her angry father/older brother/indeterminate male relative. *sigh* And there was much arguing and possibly arse-next-door got a smack for his troubles, I'm not quite sure.

I hope he hurries up and moves out, because I really don't need this kind of shit when I'm going to be pulling much earlier mornings for the foreseeable future...

Plus, 5 days left in my current job and a shedload of stuff to do. Eep!

More neighbourly drama...

Next door (the other side from the arsehole) have cats, one of which was found dead underneath the ferret hutch in my garden this afternoon - whether it was because they could smell it there, two of the kids had also managed to escape out of the hutch and were capering around the neighbourhood before someone caught them and brought them back. Apparently one strolled in through someone's back door as if he owned the place, which doesn't surprise me in the least!

They think the cat might have been poisoned and there's no sign of any trauma, so the kids aren't suspects, I'm glad to say. Time to reinforce the catches so there's no repeat performance for the furry Houdinis...
