Last night I heard several wheelie bins going for a midnight trip up the road

All night, before going to bed I was continually creeped out by various doors in the house creaking on their hinges.

Wedged a pair of undies between my door and the doorway to prevent any sudden awakenings should it want to close more forcibly than usual.

Left window wide open to let some air in and went to sleep with something that sounded not unlike a room full of vacuum cleaners, PCs and jet engines.

Woke up at 6 and closed window just before it was pulled off the hinges. Saw quite a lot of plastic bags sailing past the window. Spent the next half hour lieing there listening to my window creak in the wind – the glass is 5 foot square, single pane and I could hear it flex! Was pretty sure I would wake up covered in glass…

In the morning nothing appeared to be missing or broken – except our wind chime that hangs outside the back door.

Was going to go walking in the Lake District this weekend, pretty glad I didn’t now! Flying isn’t something I want a lot of practice at!
