Well we have moved from Garelochhead and the nice countryside to the bleakness of Lanarkshire. We are in a groundfloor flat/apartment. From living in a three storey house we had a lot of clearing out to do. Though we have been in the new place for a month most things are still in boxes. No where to put anything just no cupboard space. We will have to buy the damn things. Every room has to be redecorated. The bathroom is the worst, the wall shave to be replastered first. The previous occupants had started to strip the walls and left it. The painted the kitchen and hall grey...?? One wall in the lounge had black wallpaper the other three walls hey grey patterned wallpaper, which they didn't finish and left bits of wall paper covering sockets and flowing over the skirtingbords. What were they thinking? In one bedroom which is quite large there is pink wallpaper with mice, on top of this they have drawn Donald Duck and some strange female.
I did not like this place from the start but opnly took it because my partner wanted to, it being nearer Glasgow and his mother is two streets away. Personally I would rather been on the other side of the world, back home in Australia. The garden in huge with lots of rubbish.
As for one of my neighbours, well my dog Redd went out into our garden andher three dogs, yes three dogs were in her garden. She sware at Redd because he barked and told him to shut the F up. I looked out my door and she spoke first and in a nasty tone asked "You just moved in with that dog?"
"Yes." I was wary
"Well I am warning you." she snarled "Your dog had better not jump the fence. Stop his barking. My dogs don't bark."
At this point Redd had stopped barking and had lost interest in her dogs.
I went back in my flat, Redd followed me in.
Her dogs do bark and one jumped our fence and was chased out by Redd. She has now put up an ugly fence which I am sure she did not ask permission of the council, no way will they had said yes. I don't care.
Her partner seems to be a nice guy.
Anyway I hate this area.
