I was very tired when I turned in. Just as I was about to fall asleep the man upstairs lost his temper. There was screaming and shouting, a crashing noise and an enormous bang straight above my head. Well that was that. I was wide awake, and it took me a while to settle down.
The next thing I remember is being woken up by someone hammering on my door and shouting to be let in. It was the police, who said the man upstairs had "potentially jumped out of the window", and wanted to check that he hadn't come in through my open French window. I stood there half asleep and wrapped in my duvet as they looked in every room and cupboard. They asked if I knew the people upstairs and I said I didn't. I could have said plenty but resisted the urge. They went after a very short time. I was in a horrible state and couldn't get back to sleep, so sat smoking until nearly 2am. I slept very badly and woke up just before seven.
I still feel dazed and out of sorts.
