Hyndburn homes made me 'an offer I can't refuse'

"vacate or we will obtain a court order"
I had sent my son mail at the beginning of the week telling him what was going on, but I hadn't had a reply.
His home is emptied of nasty airborne stuff when he knows I am visiting, and is the only place I can expect such precautions to be taken.
The Hyndburn Homes offer to transport me to any old folks home or hotel of my choosing would not guarantee such safeguards. The hotel where I stayed for his wedding a year ago got over a weeks notice so that I got a room not recently occupied, cleared of toiletries, ventilated and no chemical cleaners used in it before my arrival.
I phoned my son and found he was away on holiday until Saturday and that is why he hadn't been aware of my predicament. Now my safe place for Monday is arranged.
Reluctantly I concede defeat. I have the ordeal of a 'swinging tree' taxi ride to look forward to.
I have ordered some carbon filter odour face masks from Screwfix - next day delivery due tomorrow. If I find they work it might give me an incentive to venture out into the wide smelly world you all occupy. If they don't, the next trial will be a half face mask respirator, which might scare young children because it does remind me of the horror film 'The Fly'
