I think I've said this before, but how would someone who is totally incapacitated, but of sound mind, be able to follow the assisted dying route they are proposing . They keep saying you have to do the final act yourself. This also means you have to do the job possibly before you need to in order to make sure you have not lost the ability at the stage you would want to take that step.
I feel slightly better after reading that there are lots of neighbours that aren't particularly friendly because it has shown me, I'm on a pretty friendly road actually. I was comparing it with the past where everyone would say hello and want to chat but it turns out that still having as many nice neighbours is a bit of a luxury today. We regularly look after 6 houses when the owners are on holiday and feed the cats at two of those quite often. There are also plenty of other neighbours that won't let you past without catching up. We do have friendly people in the local area and you do get the odd hello, mostly from the older folk. I think this has been dwindling over the recent years but I try to make eye contact and smile at least. One friend if completely blanked by a hello, just continues with a "I'm very well thanks, nice of you to ask" or other sarcastic remark.
