turpsMade a dent in the mails I owe yesterday, just a little dent but it's there at least. Some people will be getting replies to comments they don't even remember making *g*
My FTP was busy, transferring files all day yesterday as I fine tuned TS flash fiction archive. Considering Mouse and I have never even spoken face to face I think we did a great job. I've just announced it so hopefully it goes well.
Next on the list, update the MX archive, oh and put a link from my site to the new archive.
My mam just phoned and told me that someone tried to steal her neighbours garden last night! Mark has this beautiful front garden, really small maybe 8 by 8 meters. He's put a fountain and pond, garden chair, stepping stones, gravel etc in it and a nice fence. Last night he was woken by police in riot gear at his door at 4 in the morning. The police helicopter was hovering over head. One of his other neighbours had woken and seen someone taking his fence away. They had a wheelbarrow ready for the gravel, had cut the fountain pump ready to take, his chair was found in a field at the top of our estate. The police said they would have taken everything, plants and all.
I can't believe that people would stoop so low. What's worrying is our estate isn't a through way. It's on a hill by itself so if anyone is up there they're usually residents or visitors. So it's probable whoever saw the garden lives on the estate. Not that there's anything to take in my garden, unless they want a well used slide, seesaw, swing and sandpit. But I'm still going to get a new lock for the gate.
