The Excitement Never Ends

 Our view. 

Normally, our view is not marred by a broken window. 



The thing is, we went to bed pretty late last night. I was folding laundry when William and Tim got back from the fair and we finished watching a documentary on the Turpin children. William entertained us with his reading about hadron colliders for a few minutes and then held forth on his belief that we can control what we dream, which led to a bit of a debate. How these two topics connect, I could not tell you. 

We finally went to bed at midnight. So we can pin the time down to after midnight and before sunrise. There was more than one person involved. 

We were not the only house on the street that got hit. Hopefully someone's cameras got something helpful.

  1. That's awful. Was it stones they used? I do hope that someone has caught them on camera and that they get dealt with. Hooligans!

    1. Stones. They were used on another house down the street. Those people haven't even moved in yet. They did more damage there, so I guess we're lucky.

  2. Scary but probably youngsters. We used to get eggs chucked at our windows on Halloween night in Chelmsford. They dry a sticky mess. Shame you did not catch a glimpse of the person who did it.

    1. I am sure it is kids. I don't understand parents letting their kids prowl though.

  4. That is not a nice thing to wake up to. Some yob's or yobess's idea of fun, no doubt.

  5. Not the good kind of excitement! I don't understand kids being allowed to roam at night either.

  10. Have the police indicated there has been this kind of activity in other areas or is your neighborhood the chosen one?

  11. I am so angry on your behalf. We do have cameras but they don't pick up well in the dark.

  12. Ouch. At least with other people's windows broken, you don't feel targeted.

  16. I imagine this sort of thing will not be a problem at the new place.
