Can I be vicariously curmudgeonly on behalf of my daughter? Her upstairs neighbour came in from night shift,started running a bath , then fell asleep. Water pouring through the ceiling light socket woke my daughter up , banging on his door had no reaction so they called the fire brigade who were about to break in , fearing he'd died or some such thing. He is on floor 5 , daughter directly below but the water went all the way down through every flat on the floors below down the ground floor level.
Oh dear, that's going to be a big insurance claim - if he's insured at all.
I'm miffed today because I walked all the way down to the village to try a new pilates class at 10.45 am in the church centre but nobody else came, very strange as the lights were on in the room and a pile of mats out. I waited half an hour and then walked home again. I'd also missed some good gardening weather as well. Not happy.
Did have a good look round, we don't have a village pond alas, no suspicious characters that I could see. Probably my own fault for not phoning the tutor beforehand.
Rant today is because when I drew the bedroom curtains this morning, found a squirrel sat on top of the trellis merrily chomping about 6 clematis buds which were soon to bloom (Group 2 earlies). Although I ran out in my jimjams, the blighter must have sneaked back and ate some more. I didn't know they ate flower buds.

Well there you go. They'd probably all gone off further afield looking for a high sea to practise on.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
