A couple of dodgy-looking kids came to my door tonight. Actually they didn't look that dodgy, they were polite but couldn't sing to save their lives. Who were they collecting for? They hadn't decided. Then they said they'd been involved in a local production of Robin Hood that had raised £700 for Children in Need. Oh, so they had decided. Yeah, right. I gave them 9p (it got rid of some loose change) in case they decided to trash the front garden...I just felt like I'd been conned.
One of the street lights outside my house doesn't work. Stopped working earlier this week. Yesterday my neighbour told me that some punk kids had thrown stones at it and broke it. I happened to look outside the window this evening and saw the glass/plastic glinting in the light, strewn over the road...I hadn't noticed it before. I also noticed a (very small) part of my roof on the ground; not sure how it got there but it just occurred to me it may have come off in last night's gales...Sigh...gotta go and do this week's washing up...
