Odd day

[ailbhe]

After fruitlessly trying to call the mobile number we were given, and bang on the door, shortly after midnight I emailed next door's landlady to complain about the noise. So when I popped out to the shops today with the children I met next door, who wanted to know when I would be without the children so we could talk.

I don't think he believed that I am almost never without the children. But there you go.

We did manage to buy food, at least, and later had two sets of guests, and took delivery of a School Surplus order including huge foam dice and a new balance with brass weights, and after Rob came home I sorted out the art corner of the dining room a bit and it's all ready for tomorrow's IKEA delivery...

But I didn't get the front room sorted out at all, and I suspect I need to install the new storage there first. Ah well.

We ate marvellous dhal, at least. I wonder what we'll eat tomorrow? We have NO FOOD because of being away for two weeks and failing at shopping afterwards.

If they want to talk to you without the children, maybe you should ask what age would qualify them as "not children" and offer an appointment in x years' time? ;-) (and yes, I realise you probably need to talk to them sooner than that)

That's a bit weird- why does he want to talk to you without the children there? Almost makes me think that he's planning to lose his temper or something.

I was thinking that too.

Or perhaps he wants a chance to talk without running the risk of interruption/distraction by children?

[ailbhe]

Possibly. I know I like the chance, when it arises. Though not with him.

Next door sounds like a right pain in the backside. I *hate* noisy neighbours.
