<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I had to work late last night. My daughter called
at 7pm to say she was off to see a friend. My other daughter is currently in
Washington DC. I got home at about 9.45pm. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I had called daughter before leaving work and got
no reply and as the house was dark, I guessed she was still with her friend. So,
of course, Rolph and Clara were over the moon I was home. I took them into the
kitchen to feed them, thinking the poor things must be starving - they normally
get fed at 7.30pm.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I was very miffed to find daughter had left a gas
ring on. I was further miffed to walk into the lounge and find the french
windows wide open. I tried phoning daughter again to tell her what I thought of
leaving the house insecure and the cooker on. No answer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I then went upstairs and found the bathroom door
had been left open and there was TP all over the landing (thanks Clara). As I
let rip with a few choice words, the bedroom door opened and there was daughter,
who had been listening to her music and hadn't heard me come in. She was much
affronted at my anger - especially as she had fed the dogs for me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Yep, that's right. The poor starved dogs had
already had dinner. Better than that, she had given them extra 'as a
treat'.</FONT></DIV>
