That’s wonderful! You have a good sized yard there!

I’m not life’s babysitter. I left that career long ago. The townspeople won’t leave me alone anymore. “Alex can you come fix this?” “Alex, I know you are busy, but my sink is clogged up, can you help?” “Alex, my friend is sick, can you fly me to Sacramento?0 So much more, I don’t want to share with with this forum.
Then I am the bad guy for saying “No I can’t!”

Yep it’s the human dilemma, they like you when you do things, then get miffed when you don’t!

Try this approach: ‘your sink is clogged, that is not good, i can’t get right over there at the moment, but try this, it should work for you to unclog the sink. I really apologize I can’t fix your sink right now’

If they get all miffed then they are not worth knowing. Do these people reciprocate and help you with things??

As for flying someone to Sacramento- wow hope they pay for the fuel! I would pay for your fuel…. If they don’t that’s just not nice.

Did I miss something? Are you moving house? Good to get away from the noxious neighbor.

Not far but away, from this explosive person that no one could ever know when he will decide too kick off for what ever reason his twisted mind comes up with next

What is sad is I've put so much hard work and money into these grounds and property.
He left junk under the garden and refused too help remove it. So myself and a dear man who had just had a serious stomach operation had too do it all.
The times I've had to pay to clear his junk I cannot count and this will be ongoing if I don't move so I have to cut my losses.

When a disagreement occurs people usually learn by it, not this guy, he will just create problems after problem and doesn't know the word sorry at all. Then he thinks a smile is now suffice before he starts yet again.

So no more letting things slide from me I don't and won't except being threatened or bullied in my own home, been there lived it before and no more.

I hate seeing him out in this heat

This is where I would like him to be

Oh he asserting his authority, he is the boss of his girls and he wants you to know that.

It doesn’t mean that he doesn’t look to you for security and as part of the flock, but it is his way of tellin you he doesn’t want you to mess with him and his girls at that time.

This is normal they can’t talk like us humans they have their own methods of communication. Just like the horses will put their ears back and walk away from you when they don’t want to do something. Well it was my experience with my Roos that the biting was a defence mechanism and a way to communicate.

You’re still his flock mate, as such we need to learn their language - and this is something that you are good at! Just remember they aren’t human they have their own culture and language

You are fluent in crowing so I wouldn't be at all surprised if you also spoke in the chickens varying language's to

As I was going back out to the studio, I noticed the sky was an unusual colour for dusk. I grabbed my phone and took two pictures; one with the flash and one without. I then had a play with filters on them and I thought the colours were pretty cool.

1) With flash, unfiltered

Those are spectacular! I wonder why that color appeared? I don't think I have ever seen that before.
