(The Oracle's No1 son has a pair of shoes like the ones drawn in the picture.)Picture a man, somewhere beyond sight and sound....do do do do (wiggle fingers up and down).
Picture Mr Fink this morning at 5am (yes 5am in the morning). There was an almighty crash coming from somewhere within our house. It sounded like someone smashing the patio doors in or someone beating their way out of a wardrobe full of metal coat hangers with a sledgehammer.
I sat bolt upright in bed trying to work out if the noise could have been anything innocuous, Little Fink falling out of bed, books or teddies failing out of her bed or the cat falling out of her bed. Negatives all round. Dammit, must be something big and scary. Mr Fink wakes up all bleary eyed and says, "Are you going?" "Are you mental?" say I. (reminds me of a smashing Pam Ayres poem my friend chose to have read at her wedding. http://weddingwords.vox.com/library/post/yes-ill-marry-you-pam-ayres.html
We check Little Fink - no damage there. All windows and wardrobes intact - mystery....
Mr Fink bravely goes downstairs, stark, you know what, naked. I tell you, if there was a burglar in the house, he deserves a medal for facing Mr Fink in the altogether at 5am.
Mystery solved - 2 pictures are missing from the walls, the 2 collages I made of our first trip to see the outlaws in Spain, A3 clip frames with tickets, postcards, local papers etc in. they must have gone up in value for a burglar to break in and only steal them??
No. the truth was, I had put them up on the wall using those clever new sticky pads that you can peel off the wall when you have finished? Newsflash - They don't work. Both pictures were at the bottom of the stairs, smashed to bits. We cleared up and went back to bed.
Never a dull moment eh?
I LIKE IT DULL AT 5am THANK YOU!!!!!!
