@ ModelT & MsDollie - sorry to hear you are leaving your boonies paradise. How come?
I don't think my 'situation' has finished yet. I am ever the optimist.
The neighbours have clearly realised what a big mistake they have made in alienating me. The husbands last email to me (ignored by me - I have informed him his email addy is now blocked) started with the words 'You have done so much for us in the past'. I suspect it was prompted by his more sensible wife. It is their loss - they have nothing I need on any front whatsoever.
The very words he used at the start of the email show me how arrogant and out of touch the guy is. It clearly shows he is thinking of their future potential needs with his choice of opening words. That alone pisses me off even more when his attempts at reconciliation are expressed in such a selfish manner. He has a very unfortunate manner which comes over in the words he uses in emails, texts and speech. It's as if he doesn't engage his brain to think of the effects of his thoughts before he 'communicates'. His wife has described this to me several times in the past as his unfortunate ability to read something in the wrong way, get entirely the wrong end of the stick, explode and make all around him suffer - then later on when he does see the correct situation try and smooth things over as if it was no big deal and everything is hunky dory again.
I can see a situation where the wife comes round to open up dialogue slowly slowly (there will be something she wants / needs behind it !).
At the moment she is keeping her head down presumably to comply with the overbearing arrogant nature of her domineering husband.
One thing with Asians - and especially male Muslim versions - is the importance of 'saving face'. He can wrestle with that forever. He's done as far as I'm concerned -- non-existent in my eyes.
One thing is for sure, I will still be pottering in the buff in my back garden and if they have guests who spot me - tough - it is themselves who have closed the door on working with me to let me know when they had guests so I could be more discreet. My patio area is completely hidden from their view - unless they peek over a 6' 6" tall fence or the pr1ck lifts his kids up (as he has done in the past!) to look into my yard. Somehow I don't think he will attempt that again.
Chilli plants growing nicely. Will she ever get to receive one??
