To a neebour...

This one goes out to my neighbours.

Neighbour right, with help of family contacts, replaced the panelled garden fence with a strutted plank built fence that is a lot less vulnerable to storm winds. He also gave the the second half of the paint to paint my side.

Neighbour left, off handedly took the kids for an hour or so which indirectly let me not only start the fence painting but also completely finish it plus clean up the house a little.

You canny choose your neighbours and believe you me, we have in the past come the cropper of iffy neighbours, but when you get good ones, they are a thing to be thankful for.
