I'm colour blind so can't bore you with mine - they might all be grey!

I just got new neighbours. Couple of middle aged gay men moved in about eight weeks ago. Bumped into them one day in the driveway as I was spraying the weeds and chatted briefly. Both seem pleasant and good mannered.
Thing is they never seem to stick a nose out of the door and they're completely silent. Not even the TV in the evening (which suits me tbh as we don't either).
Nothing. Not a peep.
It's like having mice; you don't see them or hear them - you just know they're there.
Both work from home apparently, but doing what I have no clue.
Previous neighbours, as nice as they were, had a couple of teenage daughters and a six year old boy, so we got used to a bit of a racket now and then, but the new fellas might as well be Trappists.
Trying not to speculate what they're up to.
As a middle aged gay neighbour couple who don't scream at kids in the garden or drill holes in our walls all day long, you've got me thinking what our neighbours think about us now.

Perhaps I should jet-wash the car and driveway occasionally just so people don't think we're up to something else!

I would take it in turns in shouting banal requests from the end of the garden.

It could be quite refreshing, a bit like a middle England tennis tantrum.

Next door but one have got themselves two terriers which come into my garden and then leave very quickly when my Danes are out and run down the stables, worrying the horses. I've actually shouted out "Get out before my dogs rip you apart!" Cue lots of shouting their names across the back garden but never bother coming to get them or say sorry. Or maybe even fix the fence!

They're still new to the area.

Soon the chemsex orgies will start.

Better still on a cold day both of you could get in to the vehicle and wait till the windows steam up.
Then bounce up and down on the seats so the vehicle is seen to "rock in a rhythmical manner"

My neighbour is a painter and decorator. I need all my window frames painting (wood frames with double glazed units) as I'm not going up ladders any more. I asked him yesterday to tell me what a ball park figure might be so I know if someone's trying to rip me off...He's up a ladder painting them as I type! Trying not to take payment, as well. I love where I live.

In which instance, if he refuses, get him a large bottle of his favourite tipple. Good to keep people like that sweet.

Cherish these people. Daughters NDN is a mechanic and Son In Law drives an old Jag X Type which he adores. Starter motor packed up one morning. Neighbour saw him on the drive trying to deal with it, arranged for the car to be trailered to the garage, fixed it and drove it back. Gave him the £40 bill for the new starter motor and wouldn't accept anything else.
