Yesterday was a strange day and I didn’t quite feel myself. I had a dull ache in my lower back/kidney area and I wasn’t sure if this was the stress of recent events or some side effect. The Missus spoke to the neighbours that live the other side to the grease monkeys and when she told Big Phil what had gone on he said: “Well it’s obvious – they are cleaning car parts in there.” He then went onto describe how they are kept awake all hours of the night by the sound of heavy objects being moved around and banging and tapping. “They never sleep,” said Phil, remarking that when he goes off to work at 5am they are still up and working.
I feel a lot better today and the pain in my back has gone. Mind you, after I heard that yesterday, I started drinking lots of water because I was scared that I’d been poisoned by some kind of industrial cleaning solvent. After writing this entry, I shall be picking up the phone and speaking to the local council. And so the battle for normality begins…
