A rather emotional week
The last week seems to have gone by very quickly and not without reason, it all went a bit awry on Sunday night.
Monday:
I woke up getting my son ready for pre-school and noticed from the kitchen window that the back gate was wide open, strange in itself since we always close it so the dog doesn't escape (he's small enough to fit through the cat flaps). I went through to the back room which is separately locked from the kitchen and the rest of the house to find a window completely off its hinges. Sure enough the garage was open too. Some little scrote had broke into the garage and then used the tools to break into the house. A few key items were taken - my toolbox with all my hdd's, memory and computer tools, my wife's bike, a lot of booze and my drill.
As you can imagine this was incredibly frustrating and I don't think I've ever felt quite so angry. The result however was a happy one.
The rest of the day was spent pretty much pent up, after the Police had gone I went to work and lost myself in the neccesary, it was great, until I came home again and saw an officer fingerprinting everything and then once again rage.
Tuesday:
We decided that we needed a bigger dog, since our existing Lhasa-Apso (I think that's right!) decided to sleep through we thought it was time to get something with extra... bite. Enter Storm.
Wednesday:
Bristol to (nearly) Oxford is a long trip up and down hills, but boy was it worth it. We met Storm and fell in love. She's a beautiful 6 week old German Sheppard puppy. We didn't get her till Saturday though and so the rest of the week went quietly.
Saturday:
Finally, Storm! Gorgeous isn't she?
Sunday:
Sunday is never a day of rest. Having woke up late from a wonderful meal with family the night before at The Globe we finished fitting the alarm system and took some bits to the local tip. After that we moved from there to Southmead to drop off a trumpet (don't ask...) and on the way saw someone jump off a flyover. No I'm not kidding you. I was very worried at first and the wife turned straight around while I called an ambulance. A woman dressed in a tan mac, with white stiletto's and a white dress had jumped off a 3 storey overpass... into a tree to climb down and try and take a short cut in a drunken haze, perhaps. Or perhaps she was seriously ill and needed help - either way the Ambulance were there and helped her out to whatever the poor woman needed.
