Matthew Knott

Well, it's nearly a week since we had the keys to our new home, and the work is progressing well.

We finished the ceiling in our bedroom tonight, and I look down all of the wallpaper in the front room, and made a start on that ceiling too. I also cemented a hole in the kitchen where the fridge is going good work indeed.

Had a wierd bit of drama tonight thoguh. We were upstairs, when Lisa's father, Adrian, thought he saw a kid come in the back garden. Probably getting a ball I thought, but neither of the neighbours kids were out playing (it was raining), so just to be sure I went to check it out.

Going through the double doors from the dining room, rather than the back door, I stood out looking down the garden, with the light drizzle coming down, all looked well. As I turned to come back in, I dropped one in my pants when these two little kids huddled together under the shelter of the back door scared the crap out of me. They weren't very old, maybe 12 and 13.

I asked them if they were hiding from the police? "No, we're hiding from our mate, can we stay here please?" said the bigger of the boys. "Come on lads, you can't hide round here" I said.

They walked stiffly up the alley, got to the main road and legged it. There was a woman in the police car, so I went and knocked it at first thinking she was a police woman, but she turned out to be the mother of the smaller boy, who'd ran away after school. I gave the policeman a description of the two and off they wen't, but jeezus they made me just, like creepy little ghosts.
