Well! Just after my last, self indulgent, whiny post, we discovered something to really be concerned about: an attempted robbery!
Look at this piece of work, trying the door to our laundry in the early hours of this morning. We’ve been robbed before, the builders losing quite a bit of stuff they’d had stored in there, which is why we had the security cameras installed. The cheek of it! And scary too. Don’t think that maybe she’s just lost: you have to walk around three sides of our house to get to this point, not to mention squeezing past a whole lot of scaffolding.
It’s almost enough to make you a right winger. (“Lock ‘em up! And throw away the key! Hanging’s too good for ‘em…”) I jest but actually if they’d harmed my offspring who was sleeping upstairs it might be a different story. After all, “an eye for an eye” has a long and illustrious history. I hope my liberal attitudes are never tested in that way.
