Hello, and welcome to jasonnew Land dot com. My name's

2
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:19.839
Jason new Land. Please only listen when you can safely

3
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:34.479
close your eyes. This is Whisper Saturday Friday. For some reason,

4
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:44.840
I've done was it Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Saturday for Whisper?

5
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:53.000
Let me boy the slaves in a row? First thing

6
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.920
in the morning when I wake up, and I don't

7
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:13.319
know why at down way, hopefully the microphone is picking

8
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:32.200
up my not so loud voice. I hope it's a

9
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.079
bit of an early start. But I did go to

10
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:42.680
bed particularly early last night. So I went to bed

11
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:51.359
at about seven o'clock in the evening. It's about two

12
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:58.480
thirty hours in the morning, so technically i've had seven

13
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:04.040
hours was it seven eight nineteen eleven? I want to

14
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:15.360
seven and a half hours sleep. I visited Uncle Sausages

15
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:28.439
yesterday and I wasn't gonna It's not that I didn't

16
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.039
want to. Well, I didn't know. It's a weird one.

17
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.759
I don't want to visit him. Of course I do

18
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.680
want to visit him, but I don't at the same time,

19
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:53.159
just because it's it's it's very difficult. But his other

20
00:02:53.319 --> 00:03:00.280
visitors is only two of us. She contacted me yesterday

21
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.000
and said that she wasn't able to go due to

22
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:12.039
grand kids. There's some changes in her in a day routine.

23
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:20.639
So I said, don't worry, I'll go up and see him.

24
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:27.000
So I did, went up yesterday, got there about half

25
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:36.000
three in the afternoon. I got a taxi there. It

26
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:50.240
was raining and proper raining, like really raining, you know what.

27
00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:02.120
I don't think I put my body home. No, oh no.

28
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.639
So I took my brodey with me. I tried to

29
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.599
open it from the front door of the building where

30
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:21.839
I live to the taxi. Now I got wetter trying

31
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.439
to open the brody and in trying to close it

32
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.600
as I tried. You know, as I opened the taxi door,

33
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.720
I'd have got less way if I just walked straight over,

34
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:47.480
because it was four footsteps probably, And here it's not

35
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.120
something that I'm gonna gree read forever. It wasn't that

36
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:59.519
wasn't quite that deep, baby, But thinking about everybody, would

37
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:07.360
have been eas to just say still take probably in

38
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.759
case I needed to stand outside and wait for a

39
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:26.879
taxi on the way back. However, it's quite weird because

40
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:33.040
I can and I hear a voice in the well.

41
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:38.560
It's it's the driver, and he says, hi, Hi Jason.

42
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.800
So now I'm not looked at him yet cause I'm

43
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:50.120
I'm I'm backing into the into the taxi. I'm just

44
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.480
thinking it's nice and he's being pleasant considering what's heading

45
00:05:54.519 --> 00:06:01.959
towards him, my big fat bomb. And I settled in

46
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.680
and he said, just checking. Your going to the to

47
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.759
see uncle sausages in a nursing home. I said yeah,

48
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.959
and I turned around and it's this was his name.

49
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.639
He was my regular taxi driver when I was first

50
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:28.759
started going up to the hospital. When I was up

51
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:33.240
there every single day and getting taxis there and back

52
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:42.319
cost me about five hundred pounds and not not a

53
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:47.240
day because that would be expensive. But he was one

54
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.279
of the regular drivers, so I kind of got to

55
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:55.240
know him a bit. And then a few weeks ago

56
00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:06.959
I started mainly traveling by by us, so I didn't

57
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:11.959
see any more drivers, And yesterday it was the first

58
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:28.360
time that I traveled by taxi for I don't remember

59
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:34.839
how long it's been. It's not a long time, but

60
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:38.519
it might be a couple of weeks because I wasn't

61
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.920
able to go out for a week due to COVID

62
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:50.839
and then I visited Uncle Sausages on Thursday. So I

63
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:56.519
swim in hospital the previous Wednesday, and then I was

64
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:00.279
ill on the Wednesday and Thursday. Did the COVID still

65
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:06.439
a Friday, and then I was clear. Did another COVID

66
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:11.680
test this Thursday, just got was clear and I went

67
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.439
out to visit of course hostages. Then when I became yesterday,

68
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:29.199
that's it. Yeah, so I'm sitting there. I don't really

69
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:38.200
know what to do when I'm there. It didn't seem

70
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:43.399
the right time to show off my new juggling skills.

71
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.399
You know, it's pretty I don't know. I was talking

72
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:57.039
to him, updating him on the locals. There's not a

73
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:01.279
lot going on. It's just the same same people making

74
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:15.480
the same noise, really and keep hearing the same sentence,

75
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:23.759
you know, not from him, but the hearing the hearings

76
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:28.960
a last thing to go. I'm like, okay, I wonder

77
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.159
if he could communicate, what would he say to me?

78
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.519
And I wonder if, if you know, a very few

79
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:51.320
little scenarios one would possibly bear him saying, will you

80
00:09:51.559 --> 00:10:01.559
please shut up leave me alone? I don't know an

81
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:12.440
please stop sitting on my leg, please stop farting. There

82
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:14.440
could be lots of things that he might be trying

83
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:24.200
to say to me, where's my bloody drinks? That's the

84
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:29.559
last thing he said to me Wednesday evening, because I

85
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.759
went and visited him. He was asleep in hospital, so

86
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.759
I didn't he look like a little baby just needed

87
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:42.159
a teddy bear. He looks so comfortable cook a cold

88
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:51.240
up asleep, And I didn't disturb him because personally, a

89
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.480
couple of days earlier, he told me that all he

90
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:57.279
wanted was to go to sleep. He said he hadn't

91
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:04.960
slept properly for the last five weeks, so I didn't

92
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:09.600
want to disturb him. He looks so peaceful just having

93
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:17.759
a good sleep. Plus I didn't feel very well. I

94
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.600
just kind of came on on the way to the

95
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:25.200
laspital and I was like wow, So I just I

96
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:31.639
took that opportunity to leave. I left a package that

97
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:38.200
his friend had delivered, or I had had said to

98
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:43.080
me his friend lives in another country, so I delivered that,

99
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.440
stuck it on the table. It was just a newspaper

100
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:54.639
in the pack uh sweets, So of course Sausages phoned

101
00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:00.840
me up in the evening. Where were you? He didn't shout,

102
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:04.559
but he was like, what do you mean, why didn't

103
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:08.440
you come today? I said, I did come today, but

104
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:14.080
he was asleep. Why didn't you wake me up? But

105
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:18.039
I just for what you wanted to sleep? He said,

106
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:24.799
where's my drinks? I think that's what I've been to him.

107
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:27.759
I come and visit and then I go and get stuff.

108
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:35.519
I'm like a like a little uber eats suppose for him,

109
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.159
and that's kind of been my role for the last

110
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:46.840
month and a half. So I get there, have a chat,

111
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.320
have a catch up, you know, that's how it's been

112
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:55.320
in hospital, and then he starts talking about, well, what

113
00:12:55.360 --> 00:13:00.600
should we get? Then he went for a little where

114
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:04.480
he liked to get there sausage ll pasty things in

115
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:14.960
costa and in the early days, which sounds weird considering

116
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.679
it's been six weeks, but in the early days we

117
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:25.159
used to walk down there together, go and sit outside,

118
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:32.120
have a chat. I still remember that first Saturday. So

119
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:37.759
you went in there on a Friday, ten thirty. We

120
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:42.200
left here and I think I came back about three

121
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:47.200
thirty in the morning. It's on there the next day

122
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:57.840
on a Saturday, and in the afternoon, and at this

123
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:02.840
point he'd already been they diagnosed him with with what

124
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:06.320
was wrong with him. It didn't give him a prognosis

125
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.919
at that point, but they told him what it was

126
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:19.360
because they'd done a scar and everything. And we were downstairs.

127
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.159
I'm not sure if we had drinks. We were just

128
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:34.200
sitting in the sun, yeah, because there was that was

129
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:39.639
a sad day and we're on one of these desk

130
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:53.960
table things and Uncle Sausages started talking about making arrangements

131
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.879
and things like that. I was like, oh, shut up me,

132
00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:03.320
what are you talking about? Because he he started being

133
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:08.559
practical and then he was saying, oh, we can fight this,

134
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:13.159
and I said yeah. So it was a little bit emotional.

135
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:19.120
The next day where it was outside again. This time

136
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:23.120
we were near this bit of water which is in

137
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:32.039
hospital crowns and a duck started pecking and winning. Now

138
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.000
I thought it was finny to start with, just because

139
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:42.039
you know, generally, if I'm sitting somewhere and I felt

140
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.080
some you know, something starts pulling on my glothing or anything,

141
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:53.960
it's was always finny, even though I didn't have finny

142
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:57.720
with me. It's just a natural reaction, like what you're doing.

143
00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:00.240
What you're doing, mate. I looked down and it's this

144
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:09.440
duck staring at me, becking away at me Becker. Oh,

145
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:12.600
I don't know what that made me laugh, beckon at

146
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:30.720
me Becker Becker. Anyway, it seems like a really long

147
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:39.559
time because she used to come out. He went from

148
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:44.960
coming outside with me to still walking down with me

149
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:55.320
but sitting in costa, to just sending me down to

150
00:16:55.399 --> 00:17:09.759
get stuff. I remember this one point. One day, it

151
00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:16.839
was uh, a couple of weeks in and he said

152
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:25.119
he wanted to come home. I said, why in that case,

153
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.960
let's not take the lift anymore. Let's go down the stairs.

154
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:33.720
Cause he was on the second floor now he was

155
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.880
on the first floor. I said, let's go down the stairs.

156
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:40.799
He said, if you're gonna be traveling home, if you're

157
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.079
gonna go home, you're gonna have to go up and

158
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:52.880
down them stairs. And he said, okay. It was fine.

159
00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:57.319
He was a little bit unsteady on his feet anyway.

160
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.000
But I think a lot to do that can be,

161
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.519
you know, when you're wearing your pajamas or wearing it

162
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:14.920
like a hospital gown, being in public, because even though

163
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:20.240
you're in hospital, it feels like it feels like being

164
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:25.759
in a public street. Really. In fact, if anything, it's

165
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.640
a lot busier than a normal public street unless you're

166
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:34.920
in Oxford Street or somewhere really busy. Thousands of people

167
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:42.960
just continuously trafficking. It's not the right word, but just

168
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:52.960
traveling through thousands of people. I mean to me, that

169
00:18:53.240 --> 00:19:02.119
makes me more invisible and anonymous. I just would generally

170
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.680
not think that anyone had noticed me anyway. Really, these days,

171
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:23.160
I think my noticeability levels have dropped somewhat, and I

172
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:29.240
think it's just an age thing. It's natural, kind of

173
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:49.000
blending with the with the wall paint. I think after

174
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:56.279
seeing Emmy yesterday, it's two days in a row. It's

175
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:58.920
been a shock to me, to be honest, day as

176
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.839
because it wasn't like that when I last saw him

177
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:14.920
a week ago. And it's yeah, it's night and day.

178
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:24.319
It's like completely different. And what's weird about it is

179
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.680
he didn't believe he was ill because he felt fine,

180
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:41.319
apart from an upset stomach, which he blamed on having

181
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.559
caught a bug or something for an hospital, which is

182
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:51.359
highly likely. You know, that is a likely situation, but

183
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:54.759
it wasn't true, you know, that was a symptom of

184
00:20:54.839 --> 00:21:04.920
his condition. And I started to think maybe they'd got

185
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:15.160
it wrong, because Okay, he is still yellow, but he's

186
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:26.359
you know, I don't know. It just seemed I don't

187
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.920
know what I'm trying to say. Maybe I was hoping

188
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:36.359
they'd got it wrong that you know, A really good

189
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:42.519
scenario would be that they realized it made a mistake

190
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:48.000
and all he needed was a simple ob which cleared

191
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.039
his system out as it could be going a normal

192
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:56.079
color again because he used to be it was always

193
00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:02.519
very pale. But like me, although I'm not pale, i'm pink.

194
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.720
The rest of my body's pale, part from my arms.

195
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.240
My forearms are brown because I'm out in a sun

196
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:18.400
a lot with viny and stuff. But my face is

197
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:25.680
pink and my feet. Basically, my whole body is the

198
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:33.839
same color as my feet, this white like pale but

199
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.599
with a pink face. It's very strange. Trust me, if

200
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:39.519
you see me naked, you don't want to see me naked.

201
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:47.599
I think it's agreed upon. That's probably not the first

202
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:55.880
thing you notice. Okay, let's move on from there, and please, please, please,

203
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:15.319
And yeah, I prefer not to see him. I was,

204
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:21.319
I was there yesterday. I was just sitting down and

205
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:31.480
suddenly income in the room bursts this man like what

206
00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:37.200
made me jump, And it was the husband of where

207
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:42.480
it was the Uncle Sausages friend like you know, got married,

208
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:49.440
Like the ones that said they weren't coming, there was

209
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:55.079
a change and they decided to come up and pop

210
00:23:55.160 --> 00:24:00.480
up and see Uncle Sausages and then I don't pick

211
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:07.799
up their grandkids. I was like, well, blimey made me jump.

212
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:14.519
I think I was kind of deep in thought. Hard

213
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:18.799
to believe, but I do sometimes think it's a rare,

214
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:24.079
rare occurrence. But I gave it go once and I

215
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:29.480
thought maybe I'll try this again one day, and I

216
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:44.519
did yesterday. It was that day. Yeah, man, Yeah, it

217
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:48.640
made me jump. But the good thing about it is

218
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:56.319
I got a lift home, which was andy because it

219
00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:01.000
cost me sixteen pounds to get there in a taxi

220
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:08.960
and I was going to get taxi backs. Meanwhile, two reasons,

221
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:14.480
mainly because it was quite late in the day and

222
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:17.039
it's going to take me quite a while to walk here.

223
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.519
Plus it was raining, so it wasn't a good idea

224
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:25.160
to be walking out in the rain. I just get where,

225
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:40.279
what's the point so there would be unnecessary tempness. We

226
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.599
came back and what's her name's husband wanting to have

227
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:47.720
a look at the flat because he was going to

228
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:51.799
clear it out himself because the council asked us to

229
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:55.519
clear it out as it No, I said, it's not.

230
00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:59.359
It's no one's job to clean it out other than

231
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:06.119
the council. Uncle Sausages has no family, He hasn't got

232
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:11.440
anyone that has to do anything like that. Besides, I've

233
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:16.440
backed up so much of his stuff now at the

234
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:22.519
request of his friend, just to try and help out

235
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:35.160
the counsel and help out, you know, generally. And it's

236
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:42.200
still so much to do. So much to move is

237
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.359
going to take them a good couple of days probably

238
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:51.799
to empty that place. That's with all the work I've done.

239
00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:58.599
I mean, the front garden's full of bags, and now

240
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:03.519
the kitchen's full of backs the stuff that I've felt

241
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:11.279
and always full of bags. Most of the living room

242
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:20.680
is now pretty much clear other than the furniture, and

243
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:27.839
a fair bay of the bedroom as well. It's one

244
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:32.880
of those weird things because I went in here the

245
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:35.000
other day. A couple of times I've been asked to

246
00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:42.680
go in try and find something. Once it was was

247
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:51.400
it passport, another time it was his bible another time,

248
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:55.960
and his radio another time, some money that he had

249
00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.519
bull a side. He said it was seventy pounds forty

250
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:06.160
pounds in some diary that I know exactly what that

251
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:12.160
money was for. He used to give that to his

252
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:18.039
other friend for getting shopping for him. It drawed out

253
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:24.599
money out of the cashpoint at the petrol station. I

254
00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:28.960
didn't He told me this, and he was very organized,

255
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:38.880
so I remember I had to look for that where else?

256
00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:43.279
Oh yeah, I had to look for some letters, some

257
00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:48.400
ID to send his friend because she needed that. I

258
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:53.640
think it was proof of his pension because she has

259
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:59.720
to deal with the finances and counseling stuff. And you know,

260
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:06.759
being sure he did. She's dealt with the council and

261
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:12.039
given a month's notice for the end of the tenancy.

262
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:18.079
But that's because I console I conducted the council. My

263
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:26.440
tummy's gurgling. I contacted the council just to let them

264
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:34.680
know the situation and just tell him that that we

265
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:40.640
need some help with some aspects of the flat, to

266
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:48.720
get a few micators in and stuff like that. It's

267
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:56.279
weird cause they they seem more focused on just getting

268
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:02.359
the flat bag, which I was surprised. I know, I mean,

269
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:10.960
technically that is their job. For me. You know, we're

270
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:22.160
dealing with a human being and they're dealing with a property.

271
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:35.440
Oh well, I imagine, I mean they say a month.

272
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:39.599
I remember my friend downstairs, they's the council stuck a

273
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:48.559
sign on the door saying, if you you need to

274
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:58.920
whoever's god key to this flat, you need to finish

275
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:02.440
what you're doing, take what you need to take before

276
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:05.720
a certain day, because that's then the council we're going

277
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:14.319
to take the flat back. But it gave a month's notice.

278
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:21.839
Two weeks later they were breaking in and changing the locks,

279
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:27.000
and that was it. They didn't weigh a month. They

280
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:31.200
did the same with downstairs. There's another flat and they

281
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:35.960
put a month's notice. A couple of weeks they came

282
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:44.920
in and changed the locks. So I don't I'm not

283
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:47.640
sure if they just struggled to count up to four.

284
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:56.119
I don't know who. And so I fullesee, having having

285
00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:04.839
experienced that twice, that it might happen again with funcal sausages.

286
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:12.839
So I I mentioned they can come up next week,

287
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:20.440
put a sign on the door, notice of but I

288
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:24.519
don't know, not if fiction, but notice of being the

289
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:33.720
flat being cleared with a month's notice, and then after

290
00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:43.359
two weeks I probably turned up also downstairs where my

291
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:47.759
friend used to live, the new tenant who's been there

292
00:32:47.759 --> 00:33:07.799
every year, she's also moved out, which is weird. Mind Joy.

293
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:10.920
It's not the first time that there's been two flats

294
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:18.039
empty since I've lived there, because when Luke left most

295
00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:30.880
my friend downstairs, the other flat was also empty. So yeah.

296
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:39.400
In fact, that week that Luke left, the flat downstairs

297
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:44.400
was being refurbished by the council. They were preparing it

298
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:58.799
for the next tenant. But outside of that, I don't notice.

299
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:03.119
We've got new two new tenants moving into this building.

300
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:14.360
Fingers crossed that they'll be fairly quiet. I hope, I just,

301
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:22.719
I just I'm not looking for more door slamming. I

302
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:26.559
mean one of the door slammers has moved out from downstairs,

303
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:32.039
the other one downstairs another one doesn't seem to be

304
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:34.960
able to control ourself, just has to let the door

305
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:43.000
slam multiple times. I don't know why. The other neighbor

306
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:47.360
blow me doesn't let the door slam, and I've got

307
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:50.960
sasag just never let his door slam. And the other

308
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:54.960
person on my floor doesn't let their door slam, and

309
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:58.800
I don't either, So At the moment, we've just got

310
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:04.320
one door slammer, but we might have three in a

311
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:15.599
couple of months. I don't know, Please please know, I

312
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:19.199
don't know. The reason the doors slam is because they're

313
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:23.199
so heavy. They just they're supposed to do that, you know,

314
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:30.320
in the sense of being fire doors. But they shake

315
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:40.840
the building when they slam. It's not just it's not

316
00:35:41.159 --> 00:35:44.960
just that they slam, but they are the Two things that,

317
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:51.960
apart from the inconsideration. Two things that affect me is

318
00:35:52.760 --> 00:36:01.239
Finny starts barking if he is a door slam and

319
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:06.440
also the times, sometimes late at night, earlier in the

320
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:11.840
morning the doors of slamming again causes they need to

321
00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:17.119
start barking, and I'm in bed. Not a good time

322
00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:32.559
to hear barking in my ear So it's Saturday, the

323
00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:43.400
second of August nineteen twenty twenty five. I'm gonna give

324
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:53.880
myself some breakfast, probably about three o'clock. It's an early

325
00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:59.199
start by married, an early an early night, really early

326
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:10.880
seven in the evening. That's a very early night. And

327
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:20.000
I don't know what I'm going to do today. We'll see.

00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:25.719
So I'm going to go. Thank you for listening. Remember

329
00:37:26.199 --> 00:37:30.119
to be kind to yourself, because you too deserve to

330
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:39.800
be happy. Be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe.

00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:44.840
Lots of love, Bye,
