....and what else was to happen today?...well, as i was walking past the edinburgh woollen mill...'ken-doll' was coming in the other direction...see previous notes upon 'kindly-uncle-turned-sex-pest' (as well as being a kingpin within the masons/BI)...he said "HELLO!" brightly....i was taken aback...i didn't reply....i kept on walking to then have a look over my shoulder...because i knew what he was likely to do if i didn't take further action...i.e. stop, follow me....oh and in one instance...he was actually to take me by the shoulders and turn me around....on the junction between rosemary road and station road....anyway, ken-doll had stopped and was staring at me, in a 'hostile' fashion...and so just in case he was about to do the same as before i.e. follow me and then forcibly turn me around...i raised a warning finger and told him loudly...so that other pedestrians could hear..."LEAVE ME ALONE!" and then walked off...luckily he didn't follow me...go figure.

...what else?...well, this evening...the water is finally 'back on' in this building...but with qualifications....which will need to be clarified...let me explain:

first up - somebody was to ring my doorbell and then almost immediately after - my flat intercom...now, nobody else's doorbell was rung upon this floor - or intercom as far as i could gather...which was 'suspicious' within itself...anyway, i didn't bother to have a look - at the time...thinking that it was best to ignore 'whoeveritwas' and see what was going on, later...

...anyway, later on i was to find a CHP note had been put through my letterbox (i didn't hear any other flat's letterbox being used 'to do the same') and two sets of 12 waterbottles had been left by my frontdoor....another two sets of waterbottles had been left outside of flat 4...the note was to state that 48 bottles had been left...and so i figured that each flat on this floor...had been given a set...4 flats - 4 sets...
...and almost as soon as i had taken the waterbottles inside of my flat (having decided to give flat 3  - the extra set and show them the note, later on because they didn't appear to be 'in' at the time and therefore wouldn't know what was going on, considering how they most probably hadn't been given a note etc etc)...almost immediately - a man then turned up at my frontdoor and rang the doorbell....isn't it all so suspicious?...even though, he appeared to be nice enough...told me that the repairs were only temporary...they needed new parts....the pumps weren't working...."and that's all, really"...i thanked him and he made off again, back down the corridor....

....what happened next?...well flat 4 neighbours came back...found the 2 waterbottle sets and didn't know what was going on..."a gift?"....they had presumably had no note put through their door...

....and then, a young woman was to turn up outside of flat 3...she rattled their letterbox, knocked...and then rang my doorbell...i had just got out of the bath and was in a towel, at the time...and so i didn't bother to answer...the woman then had rattled/knocked at flat 4 and finally, flat 1...she appeared to know the woman, there...as 'pat'...and so why hadn't she called on her first?

....anyway, she complained to 'pat' that her flat had been flooded (presumably she had left a tap on, before leaving her flat and then the water had come back on etc etc) - her flat was above flat 3 and she was worried that it might have come through the ceiling...she then said in a sarcastic way..."and she's not answering the door"....gesturing towards my flat...now i have never seen that woman, before in my life...and so why did she choose to ring my flat's doorbell - the only doorbell that she was to ring, upon this floor - isn't that so 'odd'?

....she reminded me of a cross between sarah holliday and pippa morton...queening it around...a bit of a little madam, in the corridor...but anyway, i put it all down to her being 'upset' and so decided to share what little information, i had...i then opened my door 'on the chain'...because the woman was upset and i didn't want any 'aggro' on my doorstep and she was making a bit of a scene...a lot of noise, in the corridor...although, i didn't trust her...because something had set my sixth sense of....and about the whole thing....anyway, she wanted to know if either 'pat' or i knew the family at number 3....neither of us did and answered in the same way..."no, not really"...she then repeated what she had already said about her flat being flooded etc etc...and so i said that they were normally back around 8...and suggested that maybe she could try later? she then left it at 'that' and disappeared off down the corridor....without leaving flat 3 a note...to say that she had called and would they call her back or something like that...go figure.

and after that - i then left that CHP note on top of one of the waterbottle sets and left it outside of flat 3...having decided not to have anything more to do with any of it...i don't particularly want to see anybody else, tonight...and the note is an explanation-of-sorts...and the only information that i have, so far...about the whole thing.

....upon reflection...seeing as this is only a 'temporary measure' according to CHP...i need to find out if we will have prior warning...if the water is going to be turned off again, that is...i have no idea what 'the pumps aren't working' means...or how they have managed to give this building - a temporary water supply, at present...but i suppose that it will all 'come out in the wash' in the end...all i need to know is if the water will be cut off again...and if so, 'when'...forewarned is forearmed etc etc....go figure.

...anyway, have a look at the note left...the use of the passive...'tried'....because a quick scan was to reveal that 'mr red trainers' was now helping the CID to clean up this mess, let us say....'the tried and the triad' etc etc....oh and i was then to remember the CID and their 'gonk' beside pippa morton's computer....go figure.

...oh and what about the waterbottles themselves?...a 'harry potter' twist, to the proceedings let us say...and why 'harrogate' in particular?...surely it is cheaper to buy the supermarket brand....harrogate....wasn't that the public school - that my father was to attend...even though that, is surely 'by the by'...anyway, i am a little worried about what is might be being signalled here...if anything at all...because it all suggests a rather nasty 'social services' experiment, is still going on - in a way (because this block is being used as 'something like that' - on the quiet and has been used for that type of thing - since 'whenever')...but anyway, at least the water is finally back on - that is all i can say, really - at present....go figure.

 

hmmm...oddly worded - don't you think, dear reader?
