Smart Feeder - Light sensor values

Had a very difficult day. i work as a nurse in a Doctors surgery and parking is always a prob. i parked eventually having driven round the block 3 times and was walking down the road only to be acosted by a very unpleasant man, asking me why I had parked there as he had deliveries blah blah - I replied sorry but there was no where else and as wasnt over a drive or on a yellow line I was sorry but car was staying there. he then followed me down the road saying I wasnt sorry - by now I wanst so I told him to go away muttered some rude words not printable on forum and hoped to goodness he isnt one of our patients. Arrived shaken and stirred.

Cut to 4 hours later - peace reigns - girls are back in run after a run round garden and then - a ruddy great police helicpoter appears over our houses - means a chase. i was cleaning out Eglu - so carried on armed with bread knife on window sill. girls clucking in terror pointless trying to comfort them as the noise was phenominal - finished doing cleaning all put back . Back in kitchen and a man appears over fence - waved bread knife menacingly at him till realised it was a policeman not bad looking either - but I digress - at this point a dog I can only describe as a cross between a werwolf and a horse appeared and ran towards me - I shut door and bolted it and waved to the copper cheerfully - yes I'm a wuss. So i am now preparing to go to 2nd job and trying to chill.

I am soo glad girls were in their run - this dog wouldve slaughtered them and the cats were indoors.

I like excitement but this is too much in one day. I may get a visit from the police i suspect for having an offensive weapon

Glad I don't live round your way. Far too exciting for me!!

Did occur we might be extras in an episode of The Bill i dont expect eggs tommorow - the noise and a gigantic dog lumbering thro the garden I'm sure will put them off. Sure put me off I can tell you - if life gets too staid Sam drop round. This is the second time in nearly 4 yrs - the kids were shouting encouragemnt out the windows to the police last time.

"a cross between a werwolf and a horse"

tee hee - fabulous description, would love to know what breed it actually was !!

[Alis girls]

Very large woolly German Shepherd I think - beautiful dog just a tad too BIG Any criminal wouldve run it had a big mouth. I just didnt fancy me or girls being dinner

[Valkyrie]

What a day! Think you need to celebrate your survival with some plonk of sorts!

[Alis girls]

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Hope you don't get bad dreams

Me too, but the locals have already destroyed my car by driving into it. I've got a new one now, well it's not that new now. One was the chairman of our local parish council. I take great delight on doodling on his photo in our village magazine.

Hmmm woolly German shepherd. I wonder if that would make a nice jumper.

[Seagazer]

Yikes that sounds like a bit to much excitement for one day for me, hope you're more chilled out today.

Thanks slept like the dead - my day off - aim to avoid lunatics and policemen I will add we live in a nice part of London - sadly we are by a major road and I think for some reason if theres a hit and run the drivers use the back gardens as an excape route. - If there are any police officers on here - can they just force their way into your garden esp if its not actually a raid on your property and can you claim for damage - post traumatic stress - me and the girls

[Valkyrie]

Many a time mum would be caught by the police helicopter. She was in the garden trying to coax the cat in at night and suddenly she got the close encounters beam on her! She used to be scared stiff originally. Doesn't happen here - well not that I'm aware of anything.

[Alis girls]

probably in her nightie and slippers eh! Cant even enjoy your garden without summat kicking off - she has my sympathy

[The Dogmother]

What part of London are you in Ali? I used to live in Brockley, south east London; slightly gentrified theses days, but near enough to Deptford and Lewisham for the almost constant police raids to be great entertainment of an evening.

 

We're in a lovely road in our town, but on the 'way back from town of a night' to some of the less nice areas; we get a fair amount of drunken car vandalism. I know all our local beat officers and will give them a bell on their mobile if they're on duty when something kicks off. A couple of years back, I was out front in my PJs (after a major op) giving my statement when one of the officers told me that he'd forgotten to switch his helmet camera off and apologised for filming me in my blue checked sleepwear!

Its Mill Hill NW London - lovely and leafy but this is the second time I have had a helicopter hovering over my house. I bet they said "look at that silly cow cleaning out her hen house" I expected a load hailer to shout " leave the cleaning madam and get in the house" I have a bucket of chicken poo ready for the next intruder (for the allotment)

[The Dogmother]

Not too far from my folks then, they live in Elstree. Stone's throw from the studios. No chickens though.
