Went for a nice long walk down the seafront. Quite eerie as hardly anyone about, unusual even on a pretty dreary day.
Well....I got home and into a commotion regarding the neighbour across the street.
Female 82 and not been seen over the weekend? All curtains drawn, no lights on at the front?
It's her 82nd Birthday today. Mrs and another neighbour debating what to do for the best?
Me and the lad + ladders goes over and i jumped over the wooden door between house and garage.
The drop was longer than i thought and landed firmly on my arse...Yes it hurt, i'm getting soft.
All locked up at the back..No lights, curtains drawn..Me calling out and making a general racket..
No answer. Rings the local plod, they arrive and break in to find her lying on the floor upstairs.
Reckon she's been there since Saturday? Poor women! Ambulance reckons she possibly had a stroke?
Anyhow, she has been taken to hosital and the police gave us a spare key, which could be trouble ahead.
We will not use it at all, for obvious reasons...She has no family here as she is German and what relatives
she has left, are over there.
It's sh@t getting older & my backs feckin sore now too.

I added more on to my story.
Neighbour did not want the key.
There's more..read again.
Thanks..Just hope she recovers, going into hospital at that age with all this covid sh@t about.ogr1 - well done for being involved and getting plod to her. Maybe you saved her life?
She may well be in a worse position?
They were hiding until you passed
Well done anyway
Rumour has it they were all at home waiting for washing machines to be delivered by Argos.
I did similar a few years ago the old dear next door had fallen & broke her hip at the top of her stairs only heard her shouting for help when I went to bed so who knows how long she had been thereWell....I got home and into a commotion regarding the neighbour across the street.

Well done for getting it sorted mate & shame about the back, a rub down with a couple of blue bricks will sort that
A bit of drama here last night/today, little un got a headache, started throwing up & went sensitive to light about half five, did the 111 thing which took ages due to all the bo***cks about corvid on the recorded messages, 2 & half hours later while still waiting for a call back with her getting worse I had to do 999
Ambulance crew were brilliant & after assessment off we went to hospital, all good you would think but none of the local hospitals ER's would accept her so we ended up at Birmingham childeren's hospital feckin miles away
3 n half hours right by the door in a brightly lit kids waiting room, fooking freezing as some asshat of a greeter kept walking in front of it & setting off the sensor (I had to tell him in the end) later we moved as seats became available away from the door & were told we couldn't do that die to corvid etc etc (too fecking late fella)
The place was full poor little jonnies with a sore toe, and me trying to hold her up look after her with 0 help from staff, even when i asked if they could find her a trolly to lay on i was ignored, we were later moved to a side room, by this time her biggest problem was the light so I turned it off & she started nodding off, next up some prick says "you cant turn the light off" .....me "just did & its staying that way" I ended up guarding the switch for feck knows how long as well as looking after her myself until the doc came
2am when we saw a doctor & at 3am we were told she was well enough to go home, fecking great, its freezing pissing with rain & we are feck knows how far from home, TAXI! & even that was hard going to sort as i didnt actually know where i was at the time couldn't find a phone where any taxi numbers are usually posted (due to corvid ffs) eventually a nice Jamaican security man helped us sort it
Lucy seems as right as rain today but we are going to have to back for more tests etc in the coming weeks, that's going to be hard work.
I am completely fooked from the nights adventures & completely pissed off 80% the nhs staff too they honestly made the night twice as hard as it needed to be
