After Maureen’s concern this morning I decided to put the security systems to test to see how simple it is to steal her gear.  I just wondered how easy it is for thieves to get in here and steal all sorts of stuff.

Shortly before 10 am I took off with one of Maureen’s fleeces in hand: red of course the colours of Nottingham Forest.  Whilst in town I a got a couple of strange looks as shoppers thought I was a little early for the festivities.  They would have noticed that my hair is the right colour but the beard needs to come on a little.  I decided against a dry run and resisted the opportunity to ask anyone if they wanted to sit on my knee?  Couldn’t risk being arrested and charged with impersonating Father Christmas.

As soon as I returned home my concerns about internal surveillance were put into context.  Not to be distracted by my tales of being out in the Humber to catch fish for lunch, Maureen interjected with: ‘I wouldn’t have thought that my fleece would have been warm enough out there today’.  So that’s a relief the girl is still on the ball even after a difficult start to the day.
