[Looks like I got about 4.5 hours sleep here; with that initial interrupted hour that’s about 5.5 hours from a period of about 7 hours which should have been all sleep; shows the deprivation and wake up that is caused by the constant harassment]

0840    Settled into Norfolk Square for a rest and hopefully a bit of drying out from the sprinkling rain that has stopped (at least in this area); sat for a good bit resting; got up finally feeling wet from the rain; jacket was wet;

0905    Walked across Norfolk St (guess that is what it was) and saw a street through the centre of the block; Conduit Street; walked down it and out right by Charlie’s who was there cutting someone’s hair with another sitting in the chair; asked how much to cut “this lot” and he said 7.50; told him I would be back since I had to go to the bank; walked down Sussex toward Edgware Rd to go to Barclays but realised that I would not have enough time to get to the Hamm ESJ;

This is either stunning news or a decoy; has “Oi” gone to reside next door during the day instead of below and why; isn’t her own home good enough?; this rings a bell with “your room” hear from out the kitchen window and faint responses then too; is she watching the monitor there now?

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 18:08:28    Crouched into the kitchen to rinse the “lunch” plate and pot in noiseless hot water; moved the stack of magazines from the top of the paper stack to an area by the bed next to the door; it is over two feet high; had to move it to keep from falling over eventually; was very heavy; took several trips (6 to ;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 18:18:39    Dog barks below; pauses then starts up again;  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 18:26:10    Dog barking below.

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 18:28:00    Crouched over to the bed to lie down and stretch out for a bit; relax me and my stomach that is a bit tight now after eating on top of the five bagels this am and pm; want to avoid stomach pain if I can; and to let Enfish Tracker Agent track on;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 18:32:42    Following a very loud, hard door slam below; I crouched over to and back from the table with the notebook to the bedside to take notes; after these disturbances; first the dog started barking; second the door slammed below; third it was slammed as hard as possible; obviously to disturb me since I had laid down;

There were hits below and stomping around as I was relaxing initially and before I dozed off just now;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 18:51:16    The girls are back out front with rhythmic clapping and screaming very loudly; nice work to wake me like that because it succeeded; they stop now as I sit up to write this;  

There was auto action of pulling up and parking; door slams outside after the clapping and yelling stopped the first time

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:05:40    Door slam below; clapping seems to be continuing but very faint and remote; dog barks outside; one time only;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:06:28    Door slam below with double hit

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:07:23    Door slam below;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:10:17    Door slam below.  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:11:29    Hit in the bathroom area; these are loud hits in the bathroom area like against a pipe.  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:15:02    Whooping and yelling outside amid a male voice saying something and stomping overhead at the same time.  

This disturbance was complete and totally kept me from enjoying the peace and quiet I am entitled to enjoy; this was all deliberate and co-ordinated; [and specifically timed to disrupt my rest when I laid down to relax.]

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:16:27    Hit in the bathroom again; loud and hard;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:17:41    Crouched with the notebook over to the table safely and soundlessly in an unobservable crouch;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:18:00    Just get three taps on the floor above in recognition of the success of the  disturbance; one tap; pause; double tap which were obviously deliberate; this came after foot stomps back and forth just after I moved over to the chair with the notebook to the table;

It has all been recorded for the sake of posterity;  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:20:06    Enfish Tracker Agent still analysing files: F: police siren screams out on Bramley Rd as it moves away;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:23:08    Video set; OK w/ capture;  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:23:44    Kids just went by deliberately making a face at the camera;  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:25:19    F: down to 112 Mb; really using up the space for Enfish Tracker;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:27:21    VW starts outside under the kitchen window and light blue bug departs heading the other way; guy and gal talking just before; said something about the “Department of Health” and he said “Really?” then she said “OK” as if she were leaving; must have gotten in the VW, started its engine and drove off.  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:28:35    Beeper outside; guy starts yelling here as a kid makes noises below; “Where’s your mother?” he asks; woman comes out below and says “How are you Frank?”; conversation continues; between the woman below and the road outside area or footpath; guy answering from the road direction; she says something about “. . . Frank” again; guy leaving and she says goodbye; white wagon with sun roof departs toward the other end of the road; dog is barking;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:31:06    Foot stomping continues above very loudly running back and forth;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:35:10    Dog is barking below.  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:41:32    Beeper arrives outside with many beeps; sounds like an MC parks out of sight at the end of the bldg;  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:49:41    Very loud bar/grate clank below followed by loud door slam with its double hit below.  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 19:51:12    Just saw an MC travel at speed up the footpath; wearing a white helmet and gunning the engine after it went by; first it came down the road from the other end to this end making its characteristic mosquito like sound; I sat up and activated the video before it climbed up the kerb and onto the Estate for its trip up the front footpath.  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 20:13:03    Feet moving around above in a shuffling activity; silent now but this was going on before amid footsteps; sounds like there are several people up there.  That’s why they wanted me awake; for observation;  

The brief rest such as it was helped my stomach enormously; the starting pain ended and now it will be a comfortable night of rest;  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 20:20:16    Crouched over to the bed with the notebook; put it on the bed and crouched into the bathroom for a pit stop; I made not a bit of noise but there was loud talking from overhead from the kids; several of them; that must have been the footsteps I heard and shuffling noises earlier; I went to the peephole to look out and heard one of them yell “Fuck you” then all was silent except some clinking noises that I thought came from the kitchen next door; crouched back into the living room;      

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 20:22:58    Back on the bed; update;  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 20:25:48    Finished above update; light noises on the floor above and just now a couple foot taps.  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 20:43:58    Very loud hit sounded like it came from outside; music thumping away; before that someone was pounding; ; that kept going for a bit;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 20:50:55    Furn scraping below

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 20:53:43    Couple of hard taps on the floor above; still at it up there; there are also the sound of male voices coming out form somewhere in front or maybe overhead on the balcony

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 20:56:01    Yeah, it’s these guys above who are jumping on the floor and talking loudly up there with their voices coming out the window above or they may be out on the balcony as well; these were the guys who were talking loudly and clearly through the bathroom ceiling when I went in there and who said “Fuck you” when I went to the front door to look out the peephole.  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 20:58:11    They have just repeated what I wrote nice and clearly for me to hear; that confirms their reading the screen; they are having trouble reading it because of my typing blind which omits characters and makes other mistakes; he just said “it looks like . . .” as he was trying to read it;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 21:00:05    Having just read that too; they blessed me with a solid loud and hard stomp on the floor;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 21:02:31    Double scrape on the floor above; preceded by a screwdriver hit and scrape; the voices got loud like they came out on the balcony.

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 21:07:48    Hit in the bathroom area and another r just as I start writing this

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 21:12:53    An MC just went down the front footpath; followed by a sound of voices from below; I had just broken wind at the same time but very quietly; sounds like they were at the balcony door below listening; then there was another hit in the bathroom area as I sat up to write this.

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 21:18:22    Very loud hit in the bathroom area as feet are running outside on the footpath. [Crouched over to the chair to check and reset the video]

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 21:35:03    Just finished rebooting the sys for the second time that was successful; all set for the night; there was a very hard, loud door slam below before that and one a few mins earlier; there was laughing outside as I brought the video online with my head under the shroud; don’t know if that was on the footpath or up above;

                it took two reboots after I answered the questions from Enfish about logging on to the Internet; only when connected; evidently the cataloguing finished OK and the F: drive had 106 Mb left not very good; I got blue screens initially when looking at the video and during the first reload so I rebooted a second time; OK and working fine

                during the entire time I was writing this, there was a solid and consistent stomping on the floor above; it did not cease and was obviously part of the continuing effort to harass and disturb me as much as possible; expect this night to be like that all night;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 21:39:13    The screwdriver now above also; voices drifting down as they read this.

Stomp, stomp, stomp stomp (1,2; 1,2,3 sequence; most definitely intentional)

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 21:46:08    Voices just went down the front footpath; the stompings and voices overhead have stopped; they must have gone out as they usually do about this time and to come back about one or two in the morning for more disturbances [I was wrong unless some left because there was at least one up there who continued with the harassment.]

Fell asleep for only 20-25 mins and was awoken by the intentional noise from a above]

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 22:11:09    Fell asleep only to be woken by the guy above pounding on the floor; this was the continuous taps that have now stopped with my sitting up; sound of voices laughing outside and talking; about the pounding most likely from above; woman talking with a guy now after those; auto pulls up and another comes back this way.

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 22:13:42    Hit from above; sounds like the bathroom and kitchen hits

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 22:19:36    Voices out on the road down a bit as they must be discussing the sound that just came from above; continuous pounding on the floor above to simulate sexual intercourse sounds for all to hear; this is carrying it a bit too far [but they have been doing this continuously]

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 22:29:18    Auto drives off after several doors slam and the talking ceases.

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 22:30:21    Pounding on the floor above as I scratch myself; full view and knows every single thing I do [continuous objections to anything I do that they do not like; this goes on all the time].  

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 22:36:37    Yelling of obvious delight plus two very hard solid thuds on the floor above.

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 22:47:30    Pol siren pulls up/goes by outside; stops out on Bramley anyway; talking continues out front; truck just pulled up from the other end to this end;

[I finally fell asleep for 4 hours after trying to get to sleep for 2.5 hours (the second time); check the video clip for this period; there was an extraordinary amount of traffic outside that I slept right through]

    Wednesday, 4th August 1999

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 02:35:26    Awake afer a nice, long dream; cannot remember now though; full moon outside; sounds like the sys is running; over to check; all is perfectly quiet;

[Over to the system to check video and reset]

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 03:07:40    Back to the bed from a sys reset and reboot; saved night’s video activity as 080499_024810.mv2; reviewed it from about 03/2242 to 04/0002 when it stopped; nothing else was running that I could tell; rebooted system;

                just after the FDD access noise, an auto started outside the kitchen window; it then backed up from there to the other end of the road with its headlights facing this way in the light of the full moon; no doubt now that there is an audio bug in here as he keyed on it with the FDD access noise;

                all progs reloaded OK; reset video fine and started capture; looked at Tracker to see if it had an auto scheduler; none; sys was going very slowly; about this time there was another noise from outside; a clank of some sort; believe that to be the one who just backed up and was still there watching; closed Tracker; just to be safe, reloaded video and reset capture;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 03:13:07    Noisy vehicle just went by from this end to the other; did not see tail lights on the window ceiling; wonder if it was travelling without its lights on.

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 03:14:15    Crouched into the bathroom for a pit stop; I made not a bit of noise; heard not a sound from anywhere else; crouched back into the living room

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 03:16:53    Back onto the bed; update;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 03:24:46    Auto goes by from this end to the other ; again no visible lights on the ceiling of the window.

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 03:31:38    Started coughing; something constricting my throat; crouched over to the chair for a drink of water;

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 03:34:14    Crouched back onto the bed; after a drink of water; vehicle just went by from the other end; saw it in the video; working fine with capture; crouched each way below file box level

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 03:47:48    Door slam below but remote at the same time; just followed something I heard behind me as I was trying to get back to sleep; not sure if that was for real or not but then the door slam followed immediately; no one fell for the test; they must have all gone back to bed.

[Got just 0.75 hour sleep here before being woken up]

Tue, 3 Aug 1999 - 04:33:31    Sounded like a loud scrape from below that woke me

[Might have dropped off for another 0.75 hours sleep but not certain]

[Total sleep for the night was the earlier 4 hours and these two snatches (plus the two very short bits earlier in the evening when I was woken up each time); however much they might have been]

Wed, 4 Aug 1999 - 05:15:09    Hit from below on the right wall (south) side of the room; crouched into the bathroom for a pit stop; I made not a sound; again there was that faint sound like a plug chain hitting the side of a tub or sink below; into the small room for stats; light switch on and off noises; scales made a crack when I stood on it;

Wed, 4 Aug 1999 - 05:15:09    Wt 202; Elec 35,624.4; Gas 12.768

                back into the bathroom to put on trousers; crouched into living room picking up notebook and moving it soundlessly and safely to the table; myself to the chair;

Wed, 4 Aug 1999 - 05:21:04    Back in the chair; update; all very quiet like they all decided to get some sleep for a change and let me rest which I certainly did.  

Wed, 4 Aug 1999 - 05:23:32    Saved the 2nd half video clip from last night: 080499_052324.-mv2

Wed, 4 Aug 1999 - 05:25:04    Rebooting sys to restore resources; lost camera and running very slowly; something in the background working away; all progs loaded OK;

Wed, 4 Aug 1999 - 05:33:25    Video set OK; whatever prog was chugging along has stopped;

Discovery        Not run
