I was furious late on Saturday night when some noxious little oik or oiks egged our lovely new front windows! It was raining and cold and I was ready for bed so took a chance it wouldn't set hard overnight. It didn't and I was out before brekky with a bucket of cold water and some vinegar and got rid of the mess quite easily. We don't generally get that sort of pointless vandalism here and it's left me feeling quite unsettled and insecure. What'll it be next, I can't help thinking; a brick? OH says I'm making too much of it but, to me, it's just another demonstration of how this country is going to hell in a handcart because nobody will take action to stop it.
Daughter has gone back to work today; only working mornings for a few weeks but I think she'll find it tiring. I'm delighted she's recovering so well!
I don't blame you being furious. Mindless yahoo oiks. My reaction of insecurity is usually on the simmer, being on my own and especially now the front security light has given up. There was an attempted break-in the first year. Thames Valley Police, via Neighbourhood Watch, has provided posters for the door....like 'Not here thank you'. But who knows when that might encourage them to throw eggs or paint? All the best to your daughter.
