Different Kind Of Days

I have never had so much time for thoughts.

Second lockdown is starting to feel like retirement of some sort and at the same time anxious worries about the future.

It almost feels like this was meant to happen perhaps, to have the time for reflection and really look at your life deeply, make some changes and prepare for challenges ahead.

If one would only know what those are.

I have been discovering new local areas which is my favourite bit. Here I am, sitting by a pretty stream, being surrounded by North London nature reserve. It is my escape from pressing matters of life which are resting on my desk in a pile of files.

I continue looking at my new acting headshots and trying to see what my own face is telling me. Funny how one can not do that for themselves but frequently finds that rather easy for another. Mistery which is more likely just a normal experience within the wonders of human nature.

Some days of lockdown feel almost identical to times of growing up in Slovenia, when I took my dog and walked through the landscapes and woodlands, sat on top of the hills with no human soul in site, but birds of prey and an occasional stag munching on pine trees buds.

I miss those moments of stillness and calm, freedom of thoughts wondering about things the mind is able to wonder about when resting in peace and stillness the nature provides.

I almost don’t want to come out of my still bubble anymore.

FRAUDULENT LANDLORD ACTION PLAN

So much has happened since lockdown first begun in late March. I am sure this year is extremely hard for everybody.

Sometimes situations of this kind or similar open certain cans of worms one did not know they existed in their life, but lay hidden from view and only sending instinctive signals about things not being well and safe.

As we enter June 2020, the email from my landlord arrives into my inbox. It read as such:

Dear Yana, I am letting you know that I have actually been subletting the house for several years and have decided to give it back to 'head landlord' on 1st of July, therefore they want you to leave by the end of the month.

Nice touch to try to evict somebody during pandemic lockdown and illegally also.

I was so upset and worried and confused and suffered an additional blow to my system and health.

Not only that I realised how fraudulent my landlord actually is but it came to light that he was subletting unlawfully, without any licensing whatsoever and without declaring rental income to HMRC.

All this explained his sly behaviour all along and strange housemates also. It is really baffling how nasty and ugly some people can be.

And this person runs a young child nursery as well ? Shocking !!!!

Up to this day today it is still very upsetting and incredibly stressful having to face another dodgy London landlord. How dare some people do that ? What is wrong with this country to attract the worst of the worst ?

I am preparing legal case against him and for him to be responsible for all the damages caused with his disgusting fraudulent behaviour. No words really....I will do my best that he gets what he deserves !!!

LET DOWN IN STORM

This is my first blog...so forgive me. They told me to just be myself and that is much less scary when you are a person who can not pretend in real life. Therefore I am hoping to blast out my thoughts to the world and hopefully make it also entertaining.

Well we are still in some kind of lock down and people are attempting new things in their lives behind closed doors and without actual human touch.

Some might call it crazy, some may have found new opportunities....I am just confused and back at point one of my arrival to London 32 years ago.

So much can happen in a few months and your life turns into a storm you don't know a name for anymore. Perhaps need to figure out and invent new names for storms as Catrina and the rest have been around a few times already.
