0955 Monday morning. Ding-dong. Dog goes mad.
Two people with halos at front door. "I'm Neil, and this is Carolyn."
With alarming directness they announce "We're Jehovah's Witnesses. Are you Mr Grumpy?" (A reference to the tongue-in-cheek sign on the shed).
There follows a polite but brief conversation about life in general and the water tower in particular.
"We saw you on telly", they confess.
"Then you must watch Channel 4, 9 pm this Thursday", say I. "Promise?".
Before I launch into my lengthy sermon about water towers they retreat, defeated but ready to ring another doorbell.
It is going to be one of those weeks!
