I haven't been very active on here lately. Well this is why:
2 Weeks ago, I was staying at Thani's place. Right above him lives a guy that turns up the volume of his radio very high at night. We have been asking this dude several times to put his music down at night (it's really, really loud)
So that evening Thani and I went upstairs to ask the guy, in a gentle way, to turn down the radio volume a bit.
He opened the door, we asked him the matter.....and he slammed the door right in front of us.
So I was a bit irritated, especially because he did NOT put the volume down.
So I rang his doorbell again, and he turned off the bell-noise. I knocked on his door several times....and suddenly he came out with a knife. Me and Thani backed off, while the dude was threatening us.
Thani and I ran down to the level below, where his appartment is. We called the police and had to wait over an hour, due to the amount of snow that night.
Two officers came in and we told the story. After their visit to us, they went upstairs. Later they came back and told us that the crazy neighbour has threatened us with a fake knife, and he won't be arrested or made a case of.
Thani was totally messed up after this. He was frightened to stay in his house, because he was afraid that his neighbour would come after him for sending the police. So the next day, I took Thani with me, to my place, 45 miles south.
In my house, I have a cage with a parakeet named Tibo in it. Thani and I used to play with this bird, it was very tame and sweet, you could even huggle it with your nose. Two days after Thani and I arrived at my place after the incident with the knife, Thani and I were playing with the bird again. Suddenly Thani kinda lost his mind for a moment and smacked the bird right to the wall. It was dead immediately.
Both Thani and I were shocked after this. Not just a bit shocked, I mean, we are both animal lovers, and this was terrible. Thani picked up the dead bird from the floor. I was too shocked to cry. Ten minutes later both Thani and I cried for a long time.
At the moment, I am kinda OK again.... I still feel sad for the lost of my bird, feel kinda guilty as well. Thani is absolutely not OK. The neighbour has threatened me once again, but he left Thani be. But Thani is depressed and scared.
Well, that's why we weren't online for a while....heavy stuff, I know....But I'm kinda back.
