Guest guest Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 Last Saturday night when deep in the arms of oblivion (nice chap!) I woke up very suddenly having heard a strange noise - usually child falling out of bed me to DH " Did you hear that...What was it? " DH " How the H*** should I know, i was asleep " we lie there for some minutes. Now there is no point in me getting up as I am so short sighted as to be related to a bat. DH then gets up, staggers across bedroom tripping over various traps laid out on purpose stands on lego, high heel shoes and falls into bag of clothes carefully washed & ironed for next 50/50 sale this is accompanied by a highly imaginative form of invective- (think Hugh Grant and Four Weddings) peers out of window for a while can see anything and eventually comes back to bed. We then lie in bed straining our ears and start to fall asleep, just as we're about to drop off hear another strange noise shortly followed by parting company with pillow or duvet or toy. There now appears to be party in carpark over the back wall and the barmy army are heading home after clubbing (its about 4.am) so think its nothing and go back to sleep. With comforting thought that it cannot be anyone breaking into surgery that is part of building as I didn't hear anyone walking on the gravel and they'd have to negotiate the Budlia, Bay Tree and Berbris. Fast forward to Sunday. DH goes out to play on lifeboat comes home says everything around property looks ok, has bath & goes off again to meet the round the world clipper race. Lunch time just snaffled large piece of cold sausage (Too large to eat elegantly) door bell rings.Policewoman on door step.. " Oh " says I " We did hear something last night then " Yep some little beggar had " done over " the surgery. Apparently no drugs or money to be stolen so they trashed the rooms. They broke one small window pane to get in . The Doctor is pretty sure its a ex-patient who wants to get put in jail before the winter and it turns out there was money because the doctor has been secretly saving it for his wife's 40th. DH is cross that he didn't find the torch and go and investigate more closely..the last time we scared one off. and I suppose 2 break ins over 20 years isn't too bad but I'm going to rake that gravel again to make sure it's noisy Caroline Jersey Germain Jersey British Channel Islands 49º11'N 02º07'W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
