  • Love your username 😂 by Lutang247 (Thu 7th May 2020 3:08pm)
  • Definitely still open! It’s a great place for a walk and some good views of the city. by Lutang247 (Sat 1st Aug 2020 11:41am)
  • A good 2 or 3 hours of you walk round the whole thing and take it all in I would say, it’s a lovely place and there’s so many interesting graves. by Lutang247 (Sat 1st Aug 2020 1:30pm)
  • I practically live across the road and fully agree with the hype. Good food, well priced, fresh and tasty. Worth the wait! by Lutang247 (Sun 11th Apr 2021 8:19pm)
  • Thank you! This will be very helpful by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 10:10am)
  • That’s very good information! I had no idea that service existed. I’m trying to be understanding rather than angry as it’s clearly tricky for them, I just hope they can get some help and then my life will be easier as a by product by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 10:25am)
  • That’s a good point, I don’t see them around much but if I do I do always try to stop and chat for a little while. All the information I have about the situation has come from these small conversations. It did occur to me that I may be stepping on their toes if I contact an organisation etc but your comment has definitely made me think differently about that! That’s really nice of you to say, thank you. I can’t imagine how difficult that time with your mother must have been, I hope you’re doing well now. by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 11:05am)
  • Oh god that sounds awful, that poor man. I am worried about that as well, she sounds quite aggressive from what I hear and it would be awful if she ever got into the close and hurt someone, or herself. I’m hoping I can contact some of the organisations suggested and get some advice to help before it comes to that by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 11:33am)
  • I’m sorry to hear but glad she is at peace and was herself for a brief period. It’s a truly cruel illness. Thank you, the support and advice is appreciated! by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 12:11pm)
  • That’s interesting; something else for me to keep in mind, thank you! by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 12:33pm)
  • This is very true. I’ll definitely look into it and give them a call. You’re right, and it’s a position we could all be in one day, only right we educate ourselves by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 12:32pm)
  • Yeah this does concern me as I don’t want to create tension etc but also don’t want them to think that by me coming to them with suggestions, that I’m sticking my nose in or having a go at them. I’m aware of some of the aspects of care etc from my own experience but definitely don’t know everything so will do some reading to get clues up on the various different possibilities, thank you! by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 12:39pm)
  • Yes I like the sound of adult social services and will give them a ring. I can’t even imagine how hard it must be, I just hope that with some intervention the situation can be improved for everyone by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 12:53pm)
  • That sounds like a horrendous situation, I’m so sorry to read this and can’t imagine how this must have been for you and your wife. This is exactly one of my concerns, I can live with the noise but my worry is that something is wrong and I don’t want to ignore my concerns, or offend anyone by trying to help. I have appreciated all the comments and suggestions and it’s helping me gauge what to do. I really hope you and your wife are in a better situation now by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 1:07pm)
  • That’s good news, I’m glad you’re in a better situation now. Yes that is my thinking to, I’m hoping I’ll bump into them soon and I can broach the topic, hopefully with positive results by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 1:22pm)
  • Personal care is indeed free at home but having recently helped a family member sell a house to cover the cost of care for a relative, I know that placing a person in a care home does come with a cost. I agree, there could be more to the situation than meets the eye, hopefully its nothing sinister and with some outside help things will improve for her by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 3:26pm)
  • This is my main concern, I can handle the noise but I’m worried that something is wrong and couldn’t live with myself if that ended up being the case. The small interactions I’ve had with the family tell me how bad it is and how difficult it will be for them. More than anything I just want all involved to be well and get the right support. I agree that outside interference isn’t always a good thing, but hearing some peoples experiences in this comment thread has really been eye opening and interesting. It’s a complex situation and I don’t really think there’s a clear cut answer, I’m hoping I can speak with the family soon and try and gauge how things are, after getting some advice of course by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 3:50pm)
  • Thank you, that’s nice of you to say! Yes, I agree I need to be informed and approach the situation delicately. I’m hoping that they’ll see I’m not angry or anything, just concerned and if it’s not well received then I’ll back right off and just invest in some decent noise cancelling head phones! by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 3:55pm)
  • Thank you for this. It’s definitely something I’m considering, I don’t want to make things worse or in any way upset anyone. I spoke with altz Scotland today and they suggested informing social work of my concerns, but I’m reluctant to do that without knowing more and without speaking to the family. Yeah, the road to hell is paved with good intentions so I want to avoid that at all costs! by Lutang247 (Mon 11th Oct 2021 6:34pm)
  • That’s such a good way of putting it. I don’t want to door stop them with this so I’m hoping I’ll bump into them soon and can gently ask how things are and enquire about what support they’re getting. I’ve been really grateful for all the input and help from people in these comments! Yes, I do agree that informing socials etc is a big thing and could go wrong in a number of ways. Thank you!

  • Hi! I’m really sorry to hear that’s been your experience, I know myself that when it comes to care sometimes it is luck of the draw if you get good service or not. Ideally I’d like to talk to the neighbours above them as I imagine they’ll hear the same noises I do, the neighbours on the other side of the close don’t hear anything. I definitely need to talk to the family more and get more of an understanding about what’s happening. As I’ve said in some other comments I don’t want to door step them so hoping to catch them in the close one day and hopefully gently express my concerns. They seem like nice people just trying to do what’s right and maybe they don’t quite know what is right in this situation, which would be totally understandable! Thanks for your support! I’ve been so grateful for so many points of view by Lutang247 (Tue 12th Oct 2021 10:56am)
  • Totally agree with you, sometimes the best and kindest thing is to allow someone to move into a professional facility. God knows it’s not easy though. by Lutang247 (Tue 12th Oct 2021 11:04am)
  • My yoga studio (the Kali collective in the city centre) has been a great way for me to meet new people! It’s a really friendly and welcoming place that attracts loads of cool laid back people. They offer all sorts of classes and other activities so you don’t have to be an expert yogi by any means! by Lutang247 (Fri 29th Jul 2022 4:07pm)
  • No problem! Drop me a message if you want more info, I’m Lutang with two underscores on insta and happy to chat by Lutang247 (Fri 29th Jul 2022 4:16pm)
