Things are slowed down again. I have a second bout of mild flu, at the same time as several children at school have actually diagnosed swine flu, so all move related things are off.
Still, as I can't do the big move until the garage door is fixed, there's no hurry as yet.
It turned out to be a good thing I had flu on Friday. I was supposed to be going tutoring, but was at home, watching Murder She Wrote, when I spotted a couple lurking oddly. I notified the police, and stirred outside to challenge one and then try and see what they did after leaving. It turned out they'd tried to get in next door before I saw them, through the cat flap, and a window, and had left their jemmy and an iron bar on the premises. I'm expecting to have to do some identifying at some stage. It was quite a planned thing, as they seemed to be directed by a guy in a sports car, and picked up by someone in a white van. I am referring to them mentally as Nancy and Dodger - though not very Artful, as he didn't know when to slither out of his lie about looking for someone with puppies for sale, and definitely at our address. Very apologetic... odd in several ways. Both of them edgy and nervous.
