There is movement on Mr Smelly-Opposite's flat – I came home on Wednesday to find that someone had dropped a skip off and there were a few items in it already which I recognised as his. I did once get invited into his flat (this was before he went ga-ga) to use the phone when mine had a fault. It was years ago, but I still recognised his sofa.
Then on Friday morning there was a loud discussion between Mr S-O and a young woman (she sounded young) who turned out later to be wearing a suit and a mask – I gathered that it was about what should be left alone and what should be removed. When I went out later to see the psychiatrist, Mr S-O seemed to have shut himself in his bedroom with whatever he was keeping and the young woman was carefully removing everything else. I grinned at her as I went past.
He still hasn't, though, put locks on his door. Which still gives me the creeps.
Irritatingly, and for a reason I admit I don't fully understand the psychiatrist has decided to keep me on my anti-depressant for another two months.
Torchwood
I haven't been reading too many comments on the most recent five episodes of Torchwood. I read a few on the Britslash list, mostly agreeing with my feeling that the death of Ianto was completely unnecessary and even a bit homophobic.
To an extent I can see the argument that all TV relationships have to be full of conflict, but my counter to that is that conflict does not necessarily include death and we're overdue for a TV depiction of a gay relationship which has problems but is essentially solid. Ideally this should not be in a soap opera, as I don't watch them and am not about to start.
