Sooo... I met one of my new neighbours yesterday, when Mum and I went to the flat. Mum and I were lugging the stand the stereo goes on up the stairs and we heard this voice calling for help... being the sweet kind-hearted types we are we tracked the voice to the flat next to mine, and found a very large, very elderly man with a bad leg, dressed in a horrible old vest, underpants (falling down and complete with skid marks) and nothing else. He'd got the leg of his walker caught in a rug and couldn't bend down to free it. He told us he'd just come out of hospital - he had bandages on his leg - but he clearly has trouble walking at the best of times. After we helped him back to his bed he asked us if we could find his cream - luckily we couldn't, or he might have asked us to rub it on for him...
On the plus side, he's a dog lover - there were some pictures of a beautiful old Shepherd cross by his bedside - and he's also probably hard of hearing. So at least he's not likely to complain about my dogs. But I have a ghastly sinking feeling that he's going to turn out to be terribly lonely and want helping fairly often. He was certainly very pleased to find he was getting a new neighbour. With my luck he'll be a groper as well.
As I said to
herbie151: it could be worse. It could have been a drug dealer and his girlfriend with three screaming snotty kids under five... well, not really, since they're all one-bedroom flats - no kids in the whole building - but it's a thought I can cheer myself up with if the guy does turn out to be a pain in the arse...
Aaaand the memeage - nicked from so many people I no longer remember where I saw it first:
Not bad. I'd have been most depressed at the thought of acting my age...

You Are 24 Years Old |
24 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. |
Not bad. I'd have been most depressed at the thought of acting my age...
