Our new system does everything short of handcuffing intruders and taking them to jail. I'm terrified of it, in case I forget to click something or turn something on/off and suddenly find myself in a cloud of impenetrable smoke surrounded by screaming sirens. Overkill perhaps, but I'm definitely going to feel safer when R is away from home.

This is a fat bunny neighbourhood, lots of good cars and tidy lawns, the sort of place a professional thief would find interesting. Across and beside us are folk with dogs, so it's time to join them in looking like too much trouble. Nothing will keep a burglar out if they mean it, but most want an easy mark, so...

Now I'm getting endless notifications of people and cars passing by, the angle of the house front makes this difficult to avoid. I guess it's the point.

A big troublesome chunk of paperwork sorted out, now I have time to help friend's daughter. If only I didn't feel so bleary! How strange this Autumn is. It took ages to really get going and now it's dark, like Winter is right on the doorstep. I shouldn't wish October away, the leaves are very beautiful this year, but I have magically turned into a dormouse, doing little beyond drinking tea and sleeping.

Look on the bright side. Maybe you can record a video with your front door camera (if that's what you have) of a person doing something funny that you can share!

Security systems suck. But I'm glad you've got one with R away from home so often.
