Her first proper hiss
We have scaffolding up and have done for 3 weeks the landlord is supposed to be painting the window sills etc but so far we've seen a painter once
Today Dave was shall we say firmly enconsed on the "throne" when he heard somebody on the scaffolding and as it was 6.15 he thought "Surely not a workman" and when he went into the kitchen there was someone on the scaffolding trying to open the kitchen window- as that window is locked (after what Dunzi did when we had scaffolding up-while it's up all our windows are locked down) the guy then bent down and appeared to be trying to dislodge a plank from the scaffolding presumably to smash the window in. At this point Bonnie our little genteel demure and shy gannet ran to the window and let forth her first serious and proper hiss! We think she thought he might steal her food dish!

I agree with reporting this to both the authorities and the landlord. Hopefully Lesley did so. Jill |

Did you call the police immediately? What happened about it? Tweed |

It was 6.15 in the evening sorry if that wasn't clear, Dave is not up at 6.15 in the morning unless he has to be. Our local police said there was nothing they could do as no crime had actually been committed (remember these are the same police who went our neighbour reported two men were repeatedly seen in our hallway and could we have a crime number to give to our landlord who would then replace the front door lock as these people had keys they shouldn't have said no crime was committed so we couldn't have a crime number (my cousin is an ex-copper and told me that if they issue a crime number just for insurance purposes then it ends up sitting on the system as an unsolved crime and reflects badly on their figures- this obsession with targets etc being one of the reasons he left the force) and if they were injured in our hallway then in theory we'd be liable or they could sue the landlord for damages). I've left my digital camera on the kitchen bench so if he comes again Dave can get photograpahic evidence and we've notified the landlord and asked that the scaffolding either be netted at night or ladders taken away but whether they'll do anythng i don't know Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
