Monday, 3rd May 1999 Week 18 (Bank Holiday)

Mon, 3 May 1999 - 06:02:44    Up again after a bit of a snooze; brilliantly light outside now.

Into the bathroom with my trousers for a pit stop; not a sound did I make; drained the small sink from yesterday’s bathtub fill (plugged it to reduce noise as water was dripping from the intake hose at the faucet); small room for stats; bedroom for clean underwear; sound of door slam in Walkway; could by front door; bathroom for trousers; sound of faint music in Walkway; looked out peephole but could see nothing.

Mon, 3 May 1999 - 06:11:39    Back to chair; video on; reviewed “lay down” clip (perfect!): 050299_202204.mv2; the second of the two guys at the beginning is the one belonging to the white van underneath; he had its door open at the beginning.  Caught the setup perfectly; the first guy up the footpath who stops and looks around might very well be the one who was talking loudly and apparently instructing everyone. See the diary notes for this 20 plus min period; the autos below cleared out to let others back in including the orange car and VW.  Video is completely fogged this am.  Updated diary.

Tue, 4 May 1999 - 05:07:46    Very loud truck goes by heading the other way; did it start from behind the end of the bldg; as I write an auto goes by heading this way making a noisy nuisance of itself.

Tue, 4 May 1999 - 05:21:09    Elec auto lock beep outside (prob the silver wagon but heard no more sounds).  

Tue, 4 May 1999 - 05:22:39    A really loud thud must have been a window sliding shut; followed by a lesser one.  That first one was frightening and might have been above and against the wall inside or below as well.  Wow; it caused me to jump. Do your think that they are trying to induce a nightmare/noise?

Tue, 4 May 1999 - 19:48:00    MC just went right up the footpath a min or two ago as I lay on my back dozing; sound of a female voice that sounds like the Screamer saying something loudly out there; could be talking from inside to someone outside too.

Tue, 4 May 1999 - 19:50:33    The green bomb rumbler starts and departs with loud mufflers causing the air and room to vibrate; door snap below; that could very well have been Louie, and the Screamer was talking to him as he left going down the footpath to the car.  

Tue, 4 May 1999 - 19:52:49    A very loud thud on the floor above directly over me and a vehicle door shut outside too; it sounded as if the green bomb rumbler actually came back after poss circling and parked at the end of the bldg out of sight.

    Wednesday, 5th May 1999

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 01:31:16    Engine starts; car doors slam; departs.

Had a lot of dreams then; several it seemed like; remembered them but forgot when did not write them down immediately; a continuation of those earlier; they were nice; enjoyed them Thought that I had slept a short time since last waking up; but no it seems that I got some more hours sleep. [Only a total of 4 hours so far tonight though; about par]

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 01:37:27    Into the bathrom for a pit stop.  Into . . . as soon as I wrote that an auto started from the end of the bldg and went the other way; quite a  noisy vehicle it was; stood up considerably into the hall; did not make a sound but there was the hitting of a pipe below as I was leaving the bathrom; went to the peephole but did not see a thing.

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 01:41:28    Back from the bathroom pit stop.

[Went over to the chair for some water and to listen to Up All Night; did not take notebook.]

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 02:34:52    Back to bed after getting some water and listening to Up All Night for a bit since the last entry when I went over to the chair; news about Kosovo peace initiatives and the Russian role; mid-west tornadoes aftermath (horrendous); violent videos impact on children.  One auto went by during this entire time and that was just a min or so ago during the news; coming from the other end this way; otherwise it has been absolutely silent.

[Looks like I got about an hour’s sleep here before being awakened.]

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 03:27:55    Awake again after an immediate dream upon falling asleep; dreamt of EAO where I had my radio taken away from me for noise which was impossible because I listened to it through the earphones; Jim McCain and AM came to do it one day, and I could not say a thing; I wanted to say something but was prevented because they would not talk with me; all the things went through my mind that I would do but never expressed; they had been listening to me in the next room and decided to remove it; I accused them of theft; and it went on and on but never said anything; do believe that I did not speak in my sleep over this nightmare for it was truly a nightmare; there are no noises around me at all; the dream went on for a bit about another aspect of EAO and got me thinking about the educ there bringing it a back vividly to memory especially the paper and the mice followed by the illness.  Inability to do anything about it. The radio removal could be related to the slide rule theft.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 03:40:49    “The” auto pulls up at a clip.  




Wed, 5 May 1999 - 03:54:32    A clicking noise below in the balcony door area underneath.  Sound of auto in distance starts as I write this.

Reading Info Week.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 08:37:24    Dog barking below.  Into kitchen for laundry rinsed; changed both buckets to noiseless hot water for rinsing; bathroom to check and dry hands (no towels with both in wash); removed underwear from radiators and put in bedroom.  Kids playing in Walkway or at least making noise prob on the way to school.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 08:46:54    Back to the chair to the tune of sirens going past;

Writing Email re Alan Turing to Gary Flood at Info Week (CMP).  First draft done.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 09:38:54    Into the kitchen to switch rinse water in the two buckets using noiseless hot water; into the bathroom to dry hands; hot water tank filling.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 09:46:20    Back to chair and final edits for the Turing Email to Gary Flood.

Reading d/ld pubs: Tele.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 09:56:37    Lots of clicks at the ISDN line; cannot get thru!  Want to read my Email that I just finished?  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 10:30:20    Into kitchen to fix lunch; dropped lentils on the floor by accident; two measured cups of noiseless hot water into brown rice and lentils; sliced veggies through broccoli;

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 10:44:00    Simmer

                sliced onion and rinsed plate and it in noiseless hot water; put veggies away; into bathroom to scrub the toilet bowl a bit before a pit stop; noises below; very faint door unlock it sounded like after water ran in the wall from another source keying on my presence and cleaning no doubt; back to living room . . .

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 10:51:33    Back to chair; the blue truck is parking across the road at this end in the frame with sound of voice and person walking around it; sounds like it might be stalled and cannot get started; someone is trying to start a vehicle unsuccessfully and this truck is parked askew facing in like it stalled on driving into the parking place leaving its back end out from the kerb.

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 10:54:14    Dog barks below followed by more start attempts.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 10:59:22    MC guy getting ready to leave from near wall stairs; he pushed it off the Estate and did not start until he was in the road between two cars; still he was parking on the Estate (forbidden); 990505mcdep.bmp (11:00:09) shows him coming off the kerb (also shows the blue truck parked askew across the street).  

Moved pictures to E:\Pictures folder with those in WordPerfect docs a subfolder \WP Docs

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 11:18:59    Blue truck is now safely parked back down the road on the other side with white truck pulling out; frozen? Yup.  Video reset.  Now, why do you supposed they backed up the blue truck further away and facing this way?  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 11:21:23    Black guy in white shirt now walking around a bit out there then goes up by the near wall stairs; another looker?  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 11:27:27    Guy sitting on bench on other side of near wall stairs walks out into the road and down the other side out of the frame; reappear walking back up the road and onto the Estate by the near wall stairs fence then goes back to his place on the bench sitting down and facing this way; looks like he has a bag with him; his lunch?

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 11:29:16    Into kitchen to get food and fresh bottle of water; crouched each direction completely to the chair and into the kitchen only rising at the back of the kitchen just in case the guy and the blue truck were watching;

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 11:32:57    Back to chair; guy still on bench and sounds like the blue truck is trying to start its engine again; assume that is the one having difficulty; someone is trying to start a vehicle engine anyway.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 11:34:33    Door shut below.  

Brown rice & red lentils; potato, carrot, broccoli, onion, ginger, garlic, chilli pepper.

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 11:52:31    Whoever is having a starting problem is trying again.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 11:54:34    Reset video; bench warmer on far bench is now gone.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 12:09:01    Reset video; really running; “you heard” he says from above: the  answer must have been in the affirmative because he said “OK”; I just broke wind; sorry but that is a necessary physical function and I can’t help it if you have your ear glued to my . . .  The guy talking sounded (his accent voice is distinct) like the short, fat one from 540 who drives the silver wagon; was talking with her Sunday after coming back (see then) and was seen going up the stairs with his wife (I assume); he is helping out as I have already seen a long time ago and is apparently up top on the balcony listening with the eavesdropping devices (video too); they must be on the balcony below. What a perverted lot!!  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 12:14:11    Into the kitchen to get the laundry; wrung out the two towels and emptied the two buckets into the sink; took them into the bathroom to hand up; put the small towel on the bathroom radiator; the sweat trousers on the hall radiator and the large chair towel on the bedroom radiator; then into the bathroom for a dump; made a very small breaking wind noise plus two “plops”; heard a couple noises below before that and did hear the phone ring at the beginning; otherwise I was absolutely quiet; not a sound.

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 12:30:38    Back to chair; the silver wagon has just pulled up; guy walking back from it talking into a mobile phone; also heard a car door slam just before I sat down; I am assuming that it was the silver wagon but it is the most obvious new one there and connected with the guy who just spoke above; guy walking back was young.  Most likely trying to spot me like they are trying to do in the evening when they pulled up thinking I was getting up when I only sat up.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 12:32:09    Guy crossing street looking back this way; came from the other side of the road across the front of the silver wagon and up the other side of the near wall stairs toward the DP stairs; all the while he kept turning and looking up in this direction; might have been the guy who just got out of the silver wagon.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 12:36:23    Woman (short silver/blond hair) just walked to the front of the blue truck; stopped and walked around to the outside pausing by and taking just a step to the cab door before walking along the truck around its back to the pavement and continuing on to the road’s bend.  

Edit/spell checking last nights diary: done.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 12:47:31    Post: Viking Direct cat.


Wed, 5 May 1999 - 12:58:36    Turned on R4 for WaO: Clinton in Germany pledges unrelenting attack until successfully; three sentences to death in Somalia for killing tourists last year (could be set free!);

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 13:05:27    Muslim woman (wearing full white shroud) on bench below as child runs around wearing a red top; a man was talking with them a little earlier by the fence at the bottom of the frame; the guy was in the road with his arm raised like he was pointing in this direction.  She looked reluctant to do anything but appeared to be pressed by him to do something.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 13:08:11    She now walks away up by the near wall; that is a strange way to leave.  She did not look in this direction that I noted at all.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 13:23:28    El Rollo overhead.  Came over to watch me work on the pictures.

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 13:29:30    Noises from below like wooden planks under the hall area or that side of the living room.

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 13:30:15    Into bathroom for a pit stop; made absolutely no noise as before;  picked up post from earlier delivery.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 13:33:00    Back in chair.  Update.  Sound of voices outside.  

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 13:45:46    Footsteps overhead.   

Wed, 5 May 1999 - 14:19:32    Whistler lets go with one followed by another.
