My goodness, I've just been through two days that I would not wish on my worst enemy. So I will cut this to spare you the gory details - unless you have masochictic tendencies. Beware, there will be expletives and adult content.
Meanwhile I am pleased to say that having got up at 5.30 Wednesday morning I had downloaded Bones before I went to work so I watched it when I got in and I was very pleased with it.
What else? Oh yes, something annoying that became something weird that I haven't solved yet. The day before Hallowe'en in some parts of this country is known as Mischief Night where youngsters sort of Trick or Treat but it can turn malicious. 90 acts of criminal damage were carried out in one town for instance. Well, mine was the result of working on OfSted stuff. When the doorbell rang for the third time and it was after 8 o'clock, I didn't answer because I was too busy to be interrupted again. The doorbell rang and rang, the door was hammered on until eventually they went away. When I went down the next morning the doorbell had been ripped off and destroyed.
Now I have a stick on doorbell because I have plastic frames that can't be drilled so no real damage was done except I will have to buy a new doorbell. The ringer is upstairs and works with batteries. Hallowe'en night. The doorbell rings. Not thinking, I went to answer the door and there are two boys wearing Wolfman and Zombie masks. As I'm giving them some money, the doorbell kept ringing. Wolfman said to Zombie. "What's that noise?" and I said, "My doorbell" pointing out the sticky back but no actual bell to ring. "Freaky huh?" I said and wished them a good time as they made off cheerfully. But what I want to know is why did the bell start ringing when there was no way to make it start when the two boys were on the doorstep? They didn't knock and there was nothing to press. Weird.
