Attempted Robbery In Cape Town
ChatterBank1 min ago
Yesterday MrSmow was up in his office upstairs on an important video call,& I was doing various bits downstairs. Opened back patio doors slightly for a bit of fresh air , then walked to front of house to get the post from the porch. As I opened front door & stepped into porch the wind (from open patio door behind) came thru & slammed front door behind me. So I'm stood in porch in bare feet, with no keys or any way to get in house lol. Mr Smow was on this video call so I knew I couldn't start ringing doorbell etc.... did debate walking round the back of the house & seeing if someone could lend me a ladder to try & scale the back wall & climb into the garden that way, but I thought knowing my luck I'd probably end up marooned on the top & MrSmow would end up looking out of his office window to see the fire brigade trying to rescue his wife from the top of a 7 foot brick wall!!
So I abandoned that idea lol. Hoping he mite be off the fone now I rang doorbell but still no joy, then luckily I realised that I had my mobile in my back pocket. so I sent him a message on WhatsApp, which he checks quite frequently. After about half an hour I could see message had been read, to which he quickly replied 'of for gods sake you daft c*w! I'm just finishing a call - will be down in a sec!'.... to which he finally came and opened the front door to a rather sheepish me stood there blooming freezing with bare feet lol! Well at least there was a huge wicker basket in porch so I managed to sit on that whilst admiring the outside! : ) : ) : )
