My selfish scumbag neighbours - they with the 'NHS key worker! Please don't park here! Thank you for your help!' cone as if it was still back in April - have got the builders in.

During my first week off in 5 months.

Making a noise.

Parking close either side of my car so I can't take it out for exercise.

It's been a real eye-opener for me this whole thing, a lesson that people can be reasonable to your face whilst being intensely selfish in all their other actions.

I'd like to just

Fireworks have started!

Diwali?

In other news, my selfish neighbours haven't put the cone out for 3 weeks. I wonder if they've realised that times have changed?

First firework of the night, err today.

My neighbours of course are at it with the cone again. I hate them.

I can hear loads of people cheering in the distance.

The streetlights have gone into 'small hours' mode, where only every tenth one is on.

Scum.

This morning loads of gas vans appeared, and people began digging up the road without notice.

And just now a burly man wished to enter my premises with a leak detector.

Apparently 2 houses down the road have been evacuated!

Fireworks

At one point yesterday afternoon there were three ambulances outside one of the houses just down the road. And when they'd gone, a police car arrived.

Hear, an helicopter hovering overhead.

And on Abbey Road, pneumatic drill?

Someone's nicking the street name sign/bricks again.

Or maybe they're nicking the whole crossing.

There's been a BMW parked over the road, a couple of houses down, for a very long time, and it's got two flat tyres, and earlier this week an UNTAXED VEHICLE notice appeared on it.

This afternoon all its doors are open and a fella is busily connecting leads to things under the bonnet and hopping in and out of the driver's seat.

He should have SORNed it.

It wasn't off the road though. Perhaps all yesterday's activity was with the idea of moving it off the road.

It is an issue that's never far from my mind in my state of parking spaceless car management.

Saw a car with a DVLA wheel clamp on it on my morning 'activity'.

Wonder what time they stick them on? Wonder if they do it 4 in the morning or something so they don't get thumped?

Not me I always pay my Road Tax. of £0. The engine's so tiny.
