She is NUTS!!
I got there at 8.15 as requested but she was early and was standing in the entrance lobby of the flats.
Nod appeared and said, "Ah, Dr. Nick..."
Mad woman: What sort of doctor are you? Medical or other?
Me: Who are you and why do you want to know?
Her: Well what do you want? Spit it out!
Me: I have come to visit him. (I gesture in Nod's direction). Why do you ask?
She looks affronted
Her: We can't just let anyone in ....
Nod: He is not just anyone. He is a friend of mine. It is nothing to do with you.
Her: I am quite within my rights.............
Nod and I retreat to the safety of his kitchen and I give her "a look" on the way past.
Nod reveals that she, as the leaseholder of one of the four flats in the block, had appeared at the door of one of the other residents on Saturday.
Her: You are very old (the resident is 90 and has terminal cancer) and will die soon. I need a set of keys and the names of your executors.
Old lady (who is "prim"): Fuck off. (Slams door)
I can see why Nod wanted back up!!
