Day 21

Great wakeup call in the form of a woman shouting in the street .... "Gordan ya wee sh*t get yer arse ower here!" ..... little boy "no maw ah don’t waant tae go tae school!" ... "Get ower here now ya wee bas**rd”.... "Noa!" Then she started screaming so I looked out the window to see a heavy built dyed blonde with roots hanging out woman wearing a bright yellow jogging suit chase a little boy down the street ... It was very classy lol......








When I got up I went to the library as I had to fax something and was greeted by the cheeriest librarian I’ve ever met.... He looked like he was about to commit suicide and older man around 50.... "can I help you?" in the most monotone voice I’ve ever heard.... I explained i needed a fax ....He took the document and walked away very slowly towards the fax machine leaving me waiting ... behind the desk there were 2 women talking about "gan tae the hospitull".....
"Am gan tae the hospitull the morra hen" ... "whits the matter ur wi ye hen?" .... "am a awiye in tae get ma ingrowe to nail taken oot hen ... it whent aww green and pussy hen"
At that point the slow guy came back with my fax and I left as quickly so not to here the rest of the lovely story.....on the way out I heard the woman say "it pure stinking" that was me put of eating for a while.

I then went a walk into town through Glasgow Green.... I’ve always wondered what the fascination with Glasgow and the police barriers is... the whole park was covered in them right along the walk way's ...It’s a shame as the park is beautiful when its sunny ...

On the way back I decided to sit on a bench in the park and have some lunch.... It was at that point I seen an old man on a mobility scooter 2 Scottish flags flying at the front covering his face and causing him to nearly go off the path... the scooter looked like it was on the TV series Pimp my ride.... He had a BMW sticker on the front, 2 Scottish flags flapping in his face, a lovely fluffy seat cover and he was wearing sun glasses and a hat that said Ferrari! It was hilarious......






After I got back to the flat I had to go to the library again to print something and to my relief the women where away and so was the boring guy ... Instead was a very helpful guy who was actually happy to be there with no tales that would give you as we say in Glasgow "the dry boke" ie make you sick.

I’m sitting in the flat at the moment and have a new stalker.... I little bird keeps coming in the window and sitting on the table and looking at me it’s very strange.... I chase it away and it comes back that 3 times now lol...So looks like I have a new pet lol....

I just looked out of the window as I heard a woman shouting "am gonna kick yer heed in!.... you think a wulny a wull ya bas***d" ... followed by a man "aye right!" .... "am gonna punch f**k oot eh you!" ...." Moan then!"..., she then slapped him over the face and walked away with the a dog on a leash, leaving the guy just standing there with a look of shock on his face...She then turned arround and through the dogs lead at him and said "oh and heres yer dug back!" the dog then started following her and she shouted at the dog... "go get yer bas**rd of a da!.... go own bugger aff ya poor excuse fur a mutt!" at that point the guy piped up.... "sheila theres nae need tae take it oot on the dug!" ... "shut it ya fu**ing wan*er!" she then walked off with the guy and dog follwing her... all I could here was her screaming "f*ck aff !!" and all sorts of other stuff until the voices faded into the distance.... Who needs East enders?? lol





Ten minutes later.... Boys voice.... "Miiichelle...Chelle" followed by a whistle... "Chelle" Id love to meet this Michelle as thats the name thats always being shouted..... A man’s voice .... "Michelle!!”... I look out and out pops a fat blonde woman’s head from the window...fag in one had baby in the other..."whitt?!" she looked like she was trying to copy Michael Jackson with baby hanging out the window.... Man asks...."Is Tony oot the barell yet!!??" .... "no hes no oot till the mora!.... how?" ... "ah wiz just wondering thats aww hen!".. "tell ye he kin huv his wayne back am sick eh it so ah um ... wee Paris here wulny stope greetin and its dain ma nutt in so it is!" ... "Aye the wayne Shurley-Anne said she saw ye doon the dole affice...shes up the duff as well hen.. she anely 15 am affy proud eh how she’s honuliing it so I um hen" ......"Aye well she will get her aine hoose like a did the cooncil wull help her, Is that Ryan still aroon!?".... "noa hen the boy geed him a good kicking when the fun ooot the wee yin wiz up the duff... he’s staying wi his da in Possil noe days hen"




So already we know....



* Michelle has a baby called Paris and is living in a flat paid by the tax payer, Tony who may be her partner maybe even Paris's father is in Jail.



*Tony gets out of Jail tomorrow.



*Shirley-Anne is 15 and pregnant with Ryan’s baby and is looking for benefits.



*Ryan has been banished to Possil park.



So it’s like a soap opera.... I’m Loving how people have whole conversations at shouting volume and hang out of windows with there baby’s dangling out.... it’s a different world to what I’m used to.. I did live in on a farm before this though and I’ll tell you this much animals are nowhere near is entertaining as the people here are.

Day 20

I was woken up by people shouting in the street the usual wakeup call now.... Followed by a bus outside that could give Chitty bang bang a run for its money.... there was then allot of doors slamming and that was me awake.... eventually I fell asleep and then my phone went... it was the Joiner coming up....

So I got up and dressed the good news is that the window that was dangerous to health is now working and win tight and we are now hoping to get the rest of the windows working today and the dodgy drawers and screws in the work top fixed :)

This woman looks dangerous to health and is hanging from a window, I found this appropriate :)
In Glasgow we say "she looks like she could chow an apple through a letter box" lol


Pleased to report that all windows are now fixed!!! Kitchen work top is nice and safe and the drawers even work :) We have just spent 2 to 3 hours cleaning the windows as I don’t know if anyone’s ever cleaned sash windows but it’s not easy especially as the windows are around 70 years old and it’s been a while since they have been cleaned! The joiner showed us how to open them in the way... What you do is....



Step 1: Theres normally a bolt attached to a hinged piece of wood at the side of the window.. Unscrew it and open wooden support...



Step 2: Lift the window into position and hook onto the 2 hinged brackets at the side



Step 3: If the window has both ropes unhook the rope and then swing the window in...



Step 4: clean the window and do the reverse to close :)



Sounds easy doesn’t it? .... Well not when the windows won’t close.. The bedroom window was jammed open at one point and my partner an I where holding onto it for dear life and praying it would go back in ... after about a 5 minute struggle we managed to get it to go back ....The windows where coated with dirt and im so glad they no longer look awful :)

We then ran out of kitchen roll and had to go to the bank so decided to walk again to Rutherglen ....Weathers been great so it was a god walk... We then discovered the bank was closed and decided to walk to the Forge so walked all the way there and walked past and area of Glasgow where the new Commonwealth village is going to be ...there was a whole street of abandoned tenements it was creepy and a bit sad as they looked like they were in good condition....



We then went to Asda then B&Q then back to the flat to finish off the cleaning up...So it’s not been a very exiting day to be honest ... another day of being domestic....I have all the windows open in the living room now and am listening to the Karaoke.. It’s great to hear it better now lol...

At this point in time I can here like a wolf howling in the distance followed by a whale noise coming from kareoke




"Ah goat you hen"



"They say oor luv wulny piy the rent... we wulny fun oot untiiil wi growe ...."



"Hen ... ah got you hen"



Followed by another classic Cher song,,,,,



"Ah wiz born on a wagon own a travillin show ... Ma maw used tae dance fur the money they'd throw"



"Ma da wid dae wit ever he could"



"Preach a little gospil"



"schell a couple bottles eh doctor dood"



"Gypsies tramps and thieved ...we'd here it fay the peopl eh the toon"



"They’d caw us gypsies tramps and thieves"



"But every nigh aww the men wid come arroon and lay there money doon!"



Followed by cheering and a woman speaking over the mike .... Get yer hons aff me ya dirty bugger... then more of the song.... It was funny :)

Day 19

At around 1am whilst watching a movie I heard a woman shouting in the street.....




"Shaaarn!!......Shaaaaaarin.....ah canny walk hen" ......



other woman ....."get a fu**ing move on ya daft cow"



"Am pure steaming hen a canny walk"



At this point I had to see for myself.... safe to say I wasn’t disappointed.... I looked out at the street to see a woman in her 50's died blonde hair with fake tan ... flip flops in her hands walking in a zig zag down the street and at one point she fell over on top of the bin bags next to our local shop......



"Shaaaaarn!!.......Help!"



"Shaaaaarnin!!........ ah canny get up .....help!!"



So I looked and another woman quite a bit heavier dark hair wearing multi coloured leggings and a mini skirt staggering up the street to help her mate up off the bun bags......



"yer too heavy hen!..... ah canny lift ye!"



"bitt Shaaaaarn am burstin for the loo!"



"aw right hen moan!"



So she bends down and I got a horrible eye full up her mini skirt .... not a pretty site and the sh falls head first on top of her mate....



"oh no Shaaaarn ave pished ma sell hen"



"ya dirty bit*h!...aww oor ma new good mini skirt"



"am sorry hen ill go tae Primark the morra and get ye a new one"



Eventually the woman managed to get up and the staggered away into the distance and all you could here was....



"Debbie yer a dirty cow...."

"Am sorry hen"

Eventually the street when quiet and finally we got some sleep.... At around 8am I awoke again to people shouting at each other... I looked out and it was people having a conversation and that seems to be just the volume that you speak at around here.... That was me awake at that point but I kept trying to sleep and then there would be another person shouting and another and so on.....

We got up and made breakfast... We then went on a cleaning spree of the flat that took around an hour after that we headed out for a walk along the Clyde side and ended up in Rutherglen and went shopping at Tesco where we bought a load of random things for the flat we then walked back and discovered that it was only a 20 minute walk away so we now have a choice of 2 shops....

When we got back i spent around about an hour or 2 cleaning the hob with chemicals and tried to get burn marks that where left on from the previous tenant... It was lovely ...I think I’m turning into Fanny Cradock as I’m obsessed with cooking and cleaning these days lol.....My sister thinks Delia Smith but I think I’m scarier.

I was just looking out of the window and just seen another randomly funny sight.... An old man with a woman on the back of his mobility scooter speeding around the pedestrian zone and then dropped a sweater from the back and reversed at speed to pick it up nearly knocking down an old woman, a little girl and a Chihuahua ... was like the Glasgow version of Bonnie and Clyde ... Loving it ...I couldn’t stop laughing :)

Exciting news the kareokie is about to begin with such classics as

"am fleeing way oot wings"

"Um luvin angels insteed"

"Dont ye waant mi baby"

"Take me hame ... Take me haaaame"

"Cuntreee roads take me hame tae the place I belang"

&

Who could forget

"A wull survive"

"The hert does go oooan and oooan"

"Whitt huv a... whitt huv a done tae deserv this"

Tell you its good value free entertainment if you live in our wee street :)

Silence for a while then the sound of.... A girl shouting.....






"You Ya thick bast**d"



"meere" then screaming followed by slapping noises... looked out and there where 2 female neds pulling each other by the hair and slapping each other then the one in pink ran away with the one in yellow not far behind... it's classic Glasgow Nedett fighting :)

Its went quiet tonight.. Very strange.... where are the classy people? They must all be in bed.... If any more excitement happens ill update the blog :)

 

Day 18

4am ... I awoke to a drunk in the street singing this.....




"Fuuuu*k...... yooou....... yaaa......buuuunch....aaaa....bast***s"



"ya bunch a bast***s"



"ya bunch a bast***s"



"ya buuunch aaa bast***s"



This continued for about half an hour with little breaks in between until eventually the voice faded into the distance..... I imagined some Ned dressed in a Celtic top running through a Rangers area shouting at everyone who lived there... But if that was the case the guy would probably not have had a chance to sing for as long as I’m sure we’d have heard an ambulance instead....

930 am yes it’s our old friend the pneumatic drill making all the noise and people whistling over the street and that was the wake up call.... So I’m just up and decided to make a fry up for breakfast can’t wait :)

After breakfast my mum picked us up from the flat and took us back to the farm, I don’t know if I mentioned it but my parents have 4 cats and 3 are pregnant... We also have 3 ducks, 3 ducklings, 2 geese and a dog; all in all my parents have their hands full....so it was good to see my family and all the animals for a while.

We then decided we were going to get a M&S meal for 2 deal to celebrate that we have been together for 18 months however they didn’t have anything left we were interested in.....We ended u back in the lovely area we now live in looking around the shops for some sort of desert as we decided to make pasta with garlic bread but had nothing for dessert.... 1st shop we went to Key Store not much choice.... 2nd store was a smaller store with some desert with no prices on anything... 3rd store didn’t have anything at all along with the 4th ... so we ended up back at shop number 2 where we had the worst customer service on record! The guy didn’t even say one word and just stood there looking at us then pointed at the screen where the price was. at the end my partner said thank you and the guy just gave us a dirty look...lovely service lol...

When we got back we made pasta with bacon and cheese...easy to make...



Step 1......... Cook some pasta (enough for 2)

Step 2......... Chop up some Smokey bacon and fry it

Step 3......... Once the pasta is cooked drain it and put it back in the pot

Step 4......... Add the bacon into the pasta and 2 spoon full’s of Philadelphia cheese and chive spread

Step 5......... Mix and serve....



Easy cooking for people like me who cant lol.....:)



We then spent the night watching a DVD that my partner made for me on out 10 month anniversary with all of our travel pictures at the same time in the back ground all we could here where people shouting in the street and what sounded like several cats being strangled at the karaoke....

When closing the blinds there were three drunken teenagers in the street falling up against the walls of the housing association and punching each other then tone fell over and took the other with him straight after that drunk number 3 fell over.....

I am now sitting here at 22:39 with the sound of a drunk singing in the street and shouting and screaming it’s like this every weekend now id quote what’s being said but I can’t understand a word they are saying......tell you this place is the scummiest place live ever had to live :(

Day 17

Woke up early as we were planning to go to Edinburgh and I was expecting a call from the Joiner. He called at about 9am and said he wouldn’t make it until after 11 so I took great pleasure in telling him that it was not convenient and that n one is allowed to enter the flat when I’m not there... He then asked me to call the office on Monday to get him to come out, to which i replied no way and told him he can phone me and I will not be waiting in all day again. So he agreed to call me at some point on Monday we shall see...

So after that we made a picnic to take to Edinburgh with us and went to the train station arriving at Edinburgh around 1pm and we then headed straight to the Edinburgh Dungeons.... It was so strange there was no Queue and they even took the tour through and it wasn’t even full... Let me tell you the dungeon is brilliant fun... The highlight being the boat as it was the scariest part of the whole thing...

After this we headed to the royal mile where there where hundreds of street performances for the Fringe festival and we were handed hundreds of flyers to go see shows, It was a good experience as I’d never been to the fringe festival before, after a walk down the royal mile and to the grass market we had lunch on a bench. Whilst having lunch a camp Argentinean man wearing a kilt got into the car that was parked behind where we were sitting and reversed back over a cone... He then sat in the car on his mobile saying in a very Bubbles from Little Britain accent.... "It’s never too early to drink champagne you know darling... chow ... chow chow darling" and the drove over the cone some more and sped off... Interesting person lol ..

We had lunch then headed to a bar in the Cow Gate for one of the Fringe shows and we got free tea and biscuits then the show consisted of three acts ... A man who talked about the fact he was mixed race... two singing pirates and a guy who talked about sex allot .... It was hilarious in parts..:)

On the train on the way home 2 Neddetts got on at a stop near the flat and one of them was crying... Mascara running.... "Ah canny believe he done that! Am pure mortified.... in front of the whole pub" second girl... "You should tell him tae get tae Fu*k hen... he’s nae good fur ye!!!”...... "Ah canny a luv him!!”..... he’s a pure cu*nt hen!" ...... bursting out crying again......"he heed butted me in front of the whole pub bit a luv him!" I can’t help thinking that it’s a fairy tale romance Glesga style lol....

When we got home I decided to make a baked potato for dinner but I had no clue how to do it, so i used my old friend you tube ... and found a great way of doing it....



Step 1.... Pearce the potatoes

Step 2.....Place on microwave dish and put in microwave for 10 minutes

Step 3.....After the first 10 minutes turn the potatoes over and put on for another 8 minutes

Step 4.....Place in a pre heated oven on the grate for another 10 minutes checking after 5 minutes

So now you have the perfect baked potatoe lol..... I have a feeling ill be cooking them all the time now ..lol
 
 

Just decided to have a relaxing bath but as the windows offer no sound proofing I could hear everything in the street....All I heard was 2 little girls giggling and screaming in the street very loudly followed by a man saying ......"gonna keep the noise down" ....followed by them laughing at him then ..."Whit?" ...."whit?" ... "whit" between the girl and the man.... then the man said "go home!" girl replies "Am gonna fucking kill you!!"

"Your just a wee lassy" ... "you’re going to fu**ing die!!!" then screaming more giggling and then the giggles faded into the distance... So that was such a relaxing bath.....lol

Day 16

I awoke yet again to banging and rattling coming from milk cages at the local shop...Followed by a woman screeching....

"Brookline!......Meeer!!! Brookline ya wee sh**t... Whit huv a told you about talking tae auld men? Wit huv a lold you??!! Wid ye like tae be taken away by a dirty auld man?? Followed by..... Aye fu..k off ya auld perv!!" I had to look to see what was going on... and she was shouting at a wee old man who couldn’t even walk properly....So another nice wee wakeup call......

So about 10 minutes later the drilling started again followed by more shouting in the street... well singing I couldn’t make out what though... followed by...."Shut the Fu*k up ya twat!!" coming from a woman hanging out the window... So that was me up and awake... I had to go to Springburn for an appointment anyway.

I went to the train station just across the road and found out that there was another station only 5 minutes away that would get me there quicker so I decided to buy the ticket there and walk to the other station..... Walking up an ally way filled with broken glass and into a street filled with factories ... following my Iphones GPS that said "use caution" It’s the first time I’ve noticed it does that ... turns out anywhere in this area it says the same... but when you go 5 minutes up the road it doesn’t...Even my Iphone doesn’t like the area, must be scared it gets kid napped by a Ned or junkie...

I walked to "Merchant City East" and noticed on arrival at the station I had lost my ticket... typical so I got a train to the next stop and swapped trains and eventually got to Springburn.... I however got off at the wrong stop and ended up thinking I was lost but made it eventually and I was on time so all good.






On return to the flat I decided to get off the train at Alexander Parade and walk back... So I walked down in the direction of the flat and ended up in yet another scary looking area ... I crossed a bridge over the railway that was burned vandalized and covered in broken glass and rubbish.. Very nice! over to a housing estate that looked like something from Taggart.... near the Bellgrove Hotel where there was a group of drunks in the street falling over the place and heading to the off licence... lovely.. I then got past that and went back through the same lovely street I walked through at the start... Let me tell you I did proceed with caution the whole way back....

So I got back to the flat and I’m just off the phone with my mum and dad and for a change giving them good news about the flat not bad.... Also just spoken to "L" who has told me that there will be a Joiner here today and she will call me back.... so let’s wait and see if he calls or shows.... Oh and I forgot to mention..... The flats still dry but then it is another sunny day so who knows... we shall see :)

Okay back to the agency being unreliable again.... I’ve been sitting in since 1030am waiting on the joiner and have also been calling to speak to "L" she’s always busy... I just wanted to know one way or the other if there’s someone coming or not as I’d like to relax or maybe even go out at some point... still no phone call back.....Bored bored bored...

Well its appearing like I’m being avoided again, I have called 3 times and "L" was on another call the first time....she would call me back.....Busy the 2nd time... she would call me back..... On lunch the 3rd time I should call back in 30 minutes... I now think I’ll leave it in my dad’s hands again if I have no luck... Not for the lack of trying but I really have decided that I’ve had enough today...

I have now decided to return the favour to the letting agency, I’m just not going to bother anymore and maybe go out....I have also decided to ignore all phone calls from them ... technically the flats still not wind tight so they can sing for their rent on the 1st of September..Oh and thanks to this place we have had to cancel a weekend away in London which we are not happy about to be honest I can’t be bothered with anymore stress so if the flat leaks again I’m just going to let it run there lovely couches that are covered in stains ..... Good thing is my mum bought me throws for them... I’ll take the throws and cushions off and leave them to get soaked ... maybe get a new sofa out of it?? Doubtful lol...

Oh I also forgot to say I’ve become the bird man again ... Feeding the wee birds bread out of my kitchen window ... I was going to throw it out the window but like my dad said I’d probably end up with a brick coming back at me lol...

I gave in and decided to call "L" for th3 4th time today and guess what..... She’s busy! She will call me back.... okay how many times have I been told that?? I’m sick of them anyone would think they are trying to annoy me today.... So they have broken there word yet again...I’m left wondering what’s going to happen next time the roof leaks...... :(

Beginning to think it’s going to be a long long long year full of chasing the agency to get anything done... not sure if I can face a year of this as 2 weeks is bad enough... Looks like they won’t be getting their rent on the 1st now ... now we have the upper hand!!

Wow at 410pm after waiting in all day I received a call from the Joiner telling me he won’t be making it today and asking what the problems are... where the hell is the list??? He also wanted to come tomorrow and I said no as I waited in all day today for nothing and think I need out of the house...He then offered to get a key and come into the flat when I was out! I said no way! That would make us feel really secure on our day away tomorrow.. So he's meant to be here tomorrow morning and I said if he's not then he can come Monday as its been a really bad week and we need to get out of this place for a while.

In the afternoon we went to Asda and bought too much then decided to walk back to the flat it took much longer than normal as we had to keep stopping... got back late and decided to make dinner .... However I made a mess before we went out as I done 2 loads of washing and ended up making a washing line by tying washing line to a beam and a hook in the wall then attaching it to the cupboard handles..... Oh my god I miss the tumble dryer so much! None of the clothes had dried and we ended up running around trying to find coat hangers to hang everything on otherwise it would smell of food when we made dinner........We hung it all up in the spare room it looks like a sweat shop.

All in all a very quiet night and nothing exiting has happened at all.... If anything more happens ill update this :)

Day15

Woken up this morning with the sound of hammering in the street and the sound of the locals shouting at each other....




"Linda ya b*tch" .... "whit ye saying ya di**k!!".... "mind you’ve got the clap clinic the day!!"

"aye bit the itching stopped last week"..."am still itching though ya cow!!" ...."well am no so a don’t cerr!!"

So that was a classy start to the day, I had to get up anyway as I was waiting on another roofer coming back from yesterday. They checked out the roof and said it was only going to last until the winter and after that its back to normal and it will definitely leak again! Good news is that they said there’s a cheap way to fix it that will see us through the winter so hopefully they will fix it soon.

Later we went a walk to the City centre along the Clyde side, It was a really nice day so we went for lunch then walked back along the Clyde and entered our neighbourhood where we seen straight away a group of guys in there 40's walking through the street with cans of McEwen’s export, I hadn’t seen cans of that in years and they where loud as usual.....

"John...." ..."aye mate" ... "where’s the Jobe centre" ... Its right next tae the post affice, so ye kin get yer giro cashed man!”.... "Gallus"

So we got back to the flat a short while later and its still dry ... but still no rain yet... We will see....

Day 14

Its 941 am was woken up by a pneumatic drill in the street at 730am and then decided to try have a bath, I totally forgotten about the living room when Id woken up and walked in.... and Yes its still leaking as its still raining.... Good news is there is now an engineer here who is fitting smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector in the hall way... although I thought you are meant to have one in the kitchen as well..... anyhoo it’s a start... Will update more later if and when the roofers come....oh yes and we have a burglar alarm that we can’t use as we don’t have the code for and when the powers off it goes off and is so loud .. thats what’s happening now ....yay result its off!! Its finally disconnected and we finally have 2 alarms in the hall :) 0947 signing off....

Okay its 1112 and the roofers have just been.... they had been here before.... and on arrival they said not again and one of them even said "oh for fuck sake" I asked when they had last been here and they told me last year ... the bedroom had been leaking at one point as well but he said it looks like the repair is perfectly fine and is holding up... So they went up on the roof and found the problem... there is a turret above the living room and the tiles are wrecked and when it was windy they fell off putting a tear through the felt on the roof and caused all the water to come through.. They have promised they will be back in the afternoon to patch it up.. But its more than likely going to happen again.....I am waiting on another 2 roofers visiting at 12 and the other at 2pm...

                  

1240 Roofers number 2 are here and going up to the roof to investigate... let’s hope something can be done.... Okay the roof is not fixable it will continue to happen. Even if they patch it the leak will happen again and again, according to the roofer the scaffolding will cost £4000 alone so not much hope of the roof being replaced as that doesn’t even include the materials and labour! So looks like we are going to be stuck with this lovely leaky living room...woohoo!

Okay at 245 the 3rd of our roofers arrived to look at the flat... we have a glimmer of hope he has told us that at all costs he will make the flat water tight tommorow at 9am so we shall see.....

At around 230 the 1st roofers returned to the flat this time to repair the roof... well patch it up, so they went up to the roof for around an hour and came down telling us the roof is patched but that we should keep an eye on it as it will more than likely happen again.....but for now we have a nice living room back again and have moved it all back as normal.... so we are sitting here for the first time in a week and are actually relaxed....until next time.......

 

Oh and more news... I called “L” from the agency and she was very helpful and told me she’s not happy that they only patched it and that she would try her best to get it resolved... We are still expecting the other roofer tomorrow to double check on the repair as “L” wanted to make sure it was done properly. As for our friends the wasps, we are going to get that dealt with soon as “L” is on the case ... let’s hope it’s going to get better and we can actually start to enjoy the flat and relax...

I can’t believe my eyes there a bus load of tourists in our street! It seems that this part of town has become a tourist attraction well at least until someone gets stabbed by a stray junkie or Ned.... Well its fitting considering we are only 30 minute walk from the lovely Style Mile.... lol , I’d love to know what’s so stylish about Glasgow but that’s a rant left for another day.

There are disturbing cracking sounds coming from the roof at the moment and it’s a little bit worrying after yesterdays excitement ... good news is that its dry so let’s expect the worst but hope for the best....

This is a strange one it’s actually quiet tonight, no leaks, the weird noises have stopped and no Neds!! It’s pure dead brilliant!!!
