Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours?

[MacBlank]

This isnt a whine moment!

I've just had a knock at the door.... It's my neighbour from downstairs ... Would you like anything up the shops? I know you got probs getting out, and we're going to the shops.

People, please do not presume the disabled neighbour, or elderly, or parent/s with small kids but no car, are going to be ok.

My fiancee n me, are both in bad health, and are usually classed as vulnerable. We both are very independent, but obvs at the moment, that's hard even for those without restrictions.

So, am I being unreasonable, to ask those who have a car, or are just more able, to check on your neighbours. Go check.

They won't necessarily ask for help, and would struggle by, as they do every normal day.

Obvs if they're pissy pants and you couldn't careless if they croaked, cos they're nasty fuckers... Then don't go ask, but if they're not.. go

Our neighbour has had deliveries from Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Iceland over the last two days.

I think she's probably ok!

We are helping our elderly neighbours on either side, if everyone did the same, no one would miss out during these crazy times. And my lovely neighbours up the road, also enquired if we were ok, as they know about my health and knew we would be self isolating, which was really kind and much appreciated. Just look out for each other and we will get through this. Keep safe everyone.

Somebody has put a letter through my door this afternoon, along with every house on the street I'm assuming as it was named #love(street-name) - it had an email address and phone number to call should we need help with anything.
Nice touch!

Elderly Neighbour one side delightful, will do all we can for them safely as their family unable to visit currently. Other side, less delightful older neighbours are not following government guidelines at all, have people coming and going constantly, out socialising, going off to shops couple times a day, loudly moaning about people having evening bonfires as it " will kill people with the virus, especially us disabled" (Disabled my backside, their mobility issues miraculously disappear when they bomb down the garden at 50mph and race upstairs to nose out of their bedroom window) , ( local tip shut, some burning garden waste after 7pm as allowed here) etc etc etc, and " wont be giving anyone locally anything as we need it for us", then complaining that no one in the road has offered to do anything for them or fetch medicines, even though pharmacy delivers.....well that's actually not true, as despite their awfulness we have offered if they really need it. Bah humbug! Perhaps their charming entrepreneurial son who still lives at home can obtain any pharmaceutical supplies that may be required from his private stash that he kindly "donates" to his many many many close friends on a very regular basis, lovingly sealed in what I assume are Corona safe tiny plastic bags etc......

So here's to all the lovely elderly neighbours, and all the equally lovely people nationwide who are doing what they can in small ways to help each other.

Love it .... Are we related? That's the exact type of neighbour I was referring to as the ones you may not want to help.

We live in a street, where one side are walk-up flats (just 3 floors) and the other are 50/50 house flats.

The walk-up side are family units ... Mainly, and the other druggies n pissheads ... Mainly.

When the otherwise kick-off, we go.to the window, and see them attack each other... Quite funny sometimes.

Couple hours later, the blue lights appear, and we didn't see anything 😉😉

We know.plenty who are "disabled" when it suits THEM!

The ones that make laugh are the couple.oldies. they run for the bus, and then make a dive to front of the queue, and the disability seats on the bus. ... I won't allow it. Especially now I'm using a rolator myself due to a collapsing spine, although I wouldn't allow before I got this bad.

Anyways, keep safe and stay strong.
