Twisted spire, an atempted breakin and we are waiting for an eviction!



18 May

Both of us had a good day yesterday, although Jan went off to do her thing while I motored up to Chesterfield for a look around. Why Chesterfield? Well, I’ve driven around it a few times but never had the chance to stop and have a look. I’ve been wanting a shot of that church with the twisted spire too, yesterday and I got one … 

As for the town itself, I shouldn’t rush to look to look around. As a scooter user, I found the cobbled streets and paths difficult to deal with, nor had I taken the hills into consideration.  

From there I headed off to the nearby Peak district and that was good see. Finally I was able to drive home via Bakewell, Matlock, Burton on Trent and the A444. Jan had stopped off for a pint in the Anker and we ended up in arriving home at the same time, around 5.30. Around 90 minutes later the day changed entirely!

We sat watching telly when we heard a number of very loads bangs at the flat door above us. We went out and found two guys trying to kick the door in. We challenged them and called the cops. All they did was to look at each other and say, ‘Come on, we’ll come back later.’

With that in mind then, we had settled just before mid-night and was woken by a power tool starting up outside our bedroom window. Jan looked out and saw someone cutting a board. They were council contractors boarding up the front door of the flat above us. They’ve done a good job too; we had a look this morning when we got up. It will take some effort to get in there now!

Thing is, we’ve had enough of all this now. The tenant of the flat is a drug dealer and that is the cause of all the problems. He’s still in hospital after falling last Tuesday. We were told he was being evicted because all the hassle there has been up there. Now that eviction is likely to be challenged by the bleeding heart liberals because he has been in hospital just lately. No account will taken of how Jan feels and her right to enjoy peaceful enjoyment of her home, even though had a stroke and is still yet to regain full use of her right leg.

So then, photo time … 


A shot of a wedding taken on Saturday, from across the River Anker in the town park. It was a big wedding too; Charlie the landlord of the Anker pub said that there were 500 guests attending. He couldn’t hold it because he’s not licenced for that many, so they were holding the reception over the road from the pub at the rugby club. Seems right to me seeing as the poor sod getting married is a rugby player.

And today’s funny …

Three men, a German, an Italian, and a Jew, were to be executed. Their Czar told them that they had the right request a final meal before the firing squad comes. They asked the German what he wanted.“Give me an ice cold bottle of German beer,” he requested. So they gave it to him, he drank  it, and then they shot him.Next it was the Italian’s turn. Give me a huge pie of pizza,” said the Italian. So they brought it to him, he ate it, and then they shot him.Now it was the Jew’s turn. “I want a bowl of snow, ” said the Jew.“Snow!!! It’s the summer now?!”“That’s fine, I’ll wait…”
