20th January Miss Marple in Action

4.30am I was up investigating! It was a windy night and I was woken up by what I initially thought was cupboards being opened or maybe the solar panels rattling. As it was too early for the final bits of unpacking it needed looking into.

As I couldn't settle I was up, looking out of windows with ears on alert. Once downstairs I eventually pinpointed it to being outside the house, but with the rain lashing down and wind howling I wasn't going to investigate. That was left until breakfast time when it was discovered that the gas meter door on the outside wall of the house had come loose. It's now very secure.

As the weather has been drizzly and miserable we abandoned ideas of going to the owl centre. Some serious teamwork this morning got everything that needed to be stored put up into the loft. A trip to the tip and a weekly shop has also been completed, enabling us to remain in for a cosy night in.

I've finished the jumper this evening. So now to concentrate on the last few episodes of the new series of The Traitor. Gripping stuff!
