Or is it us? The domestic idyll we have established has been smashed. News just in, our neighbour is a loony. Between tearing in and out of her front door, wailing like a banshee at the inhuman 'noise' from upstairs, or beating on the ceiling, she appears to be generally on a high state of alert for any sounds at all eminating from upstairs. Apart from having the effect of disrupting the evening in question this has put us generally on edge. The thing is, we aren't that noisy. Granted, there have been a couple of late nights of a saturday night. However generally speaking we've been quiet as church mice! It seems Nadia's threshold for noise is EXTREMELY low. We believe the main reason for this could be that our predecessor and landlord either deliberately antagonised her or demonstrated a fairly wilful disregard. Thus we have inherited an "angry neighbour". This site shall carry a new feature therefore: The Nadia Threat Level Indicator.
This will have, in ascending order: Silent Fury/Corridor Banshee/Ceiling Beating/Letter from Mother. Any alterations in scale will be incorporated as developments occur.

Great blog. What a beautiful view from your roof terrace as well. I hope the Nadia Threat Level Indicator doesn't get to 'Letter from Mother' anytime soon. I'll never forget that evening when it reached 'banging on ceiling' - I genuinely feared for our safety. I reckon Nadia is like that weird creature from X-files who eats peoples livers and can squeeze through ventilation shafts. Have you noticed any yellow viscous liquid seeping through the floor boards lately?! Maybe you could start a 'Compassionate & Understanding Neighbours Trust'? Or ask her to join the 'Federation Against Damage to Goodwill & Enjoyment'??!!
