A Thief in the Night!

How time flies!  This year has slipped by so swiftly … almost like a thief in the night.  It’s time to start preparing for a New Year again.  It makes me wonder how folks overseas celebrate their New Year.  I wonder what Went does?  We know from his past interviews that he isn’t a “party animal” so perhaps he spends a quiet time with family and friends or takes in a movie, or has dinner out.

 

I, on the other hand will be staying at home, safe and sound, behind locked doors and perhaps even have an early night.  In SA it’s not safe to drive around at night … on any night … especially not on New Year’s Eve. South Africans generally find a safe haven unless; they’re crazy party animals who don’t care if they’re ambushed, hi-jacked or even killed. 

Speaking of a thief in the night, can you believe that someone had the cheek to climb over my 6ft wall with electric fencing at home on Tuesday morning at 2.45 am?  Mr Thief attempted to chisel the support concrete beams of the wall in order to remove the panelling!  Thank goodness I’m a light sleeper because I would’ve probably had someone standing over me watching me sleep while the rest of the gang emptied out my house.  Fortunately for me, I have a panic button with me at all times.  I immediately pressed the button … and activated the alarm … thank goodness the security company arrived within minutes.  The thief thought that he had escaped … but ho, ho, ho, as Santa would have said, he wasn’t that lucky.  Nope! The very next morning Mr Thief tried his luck at someone else’s house nearby … eight shots were fired … I was ducking and diving in my living room avoiding any stray bullets that may have come flying through my windows!  Finally!  Mr was caught and apprehended.  Geez!  Talk about the wild … wild … west!  What a life!  

     

Speaking of which, I will be recapping Went’s exciting escapades for 2014 very soon.

Thank you for reading and be safe!
