After a not so good night and more building site noise, I felt rather tired. Lunch was ok, roast shoulder of lamb (boned) with gravy from the juices, roast potatoes & parsnips and steamed Pak choi. After having sorted the washing up, I thought I watch the film 'Miss Potter on channel 5. Halfway through the film, I noticed the sky getting really very dark and thought any moment now it will bucket down with rain.
All of a sudden I felt a funny sensation on my right arm and a voice calling - Mum, mum are you alright? It was John, he stood by the side of my chair, quite worried. I must just have dropped off but must have been asleep for more than an hour. The film had finished and the exotic Marigold Hotel had just started.
The point is, I gave him a fright and he thought that I had wandered over the Rainbow Bridge. After having had a chat, I made him aware that one day in the not so distant future it may become a reality.
We are still under the stress of building noise. Sometimes they are still at it after 11 pm at night. The low noises sound like rats scurrying about in the brickwork, others when you least expect it, you get a blast of high drilling or grinding from a metal cutting tool or the thumping of a heavy-duty hammer. Nothing like the noise you might have had for a few hours on several days when you had your bedroom refitted @Janet ๐๐ฐ๐๐น. This is now going on since the end of September. I found something out about these folks by accident. They just discard their building rubbish outside the front and back garden. Just after Christmas, I picked some paper and rubbish from the front garden and among it was a trade counter till receipt and having had a closer look, it had the name and address at the top but what was intriguing, was the address. It is the address of my friend June who passed away in 2019. There was an extra line on the address, which to me was a foreign word and I thought it may be a house name, so I put it into the search engine on the laptop. It is not a house name, it is the name of a building firm that does build, alter and sell self build accommodation. So I looked it up at Company House. Where things were falling into place was the address, his name, the company name and the large van which was blocking the pavement, is the same van which is always parked at night time at June's old home.
Here comes the good or not so good bit. The building business was liquidated in 2019 with a debt of just under a million. It could be that they are still trading under the radar, using the same company name without the limited and they using the new address. Example: Rotten Apple Ltd.co.uk becomes just Rotten Apple and a new different address. Should I take it further? @Happygirl @Pinkaholic79 ๐๐ฆ๐บ
