Well, it's just been nutz outside my door. Almost literally in fact. A significant amount of police officers appeared ouside this morning in their nationwide manhunt, including a dog and a helicopter with it. The
photo in the link is taken from the front window of my next door neighbour as far as I can work out. (Yes, my house looks like that too, except it has less drive and more garden). We went out for a walk just now - a slightly scary prospect given himself has a similar hairline, and people can be a bit quick on the assumption in these cases. The police helicopter was flying about over town so at times we were having to shout at each other to be heard, and there were police cars, parked and moving, all over the place. It was crazy.
I also saw a swallow flying over the park pond, and a squirrel scavenging in a bin, no police there.
I think the only snag with waking up four hours early is that now my body thinks it's four hours ahead of where it normally is and so it's almost bed time.
