Time spent with Mum and Dad/Christine and Richard

Last Sunday we went over to Sams parents house, and got to play with Dusty and Hugo in the garden. Hugo was practicing his football skills with Sam, but used a Basketball because he wanted to show some respect to his American relatives. Dusty was being generally awesome and loving the attention… good boy!

Caggy came over in the evening for dinner, and had Stanley with her.

Lara ‘sleep phones’

Now i’m sure you’ve heard of sleep walking? But have you heard of sleep phoning?

No, niether had I! But it turns out, thats exactly what Lara did this morning, either that or she was just being mean and waking me up!

This morning, at about 6.15am, we were woken by the house phone ringing, and usually if your phone rings this early, you usually panic, thinking about what could of happened to make someone ring us at this time. So in my half asleep state I tried to run to the other end of the flat to get to the phone, which is no easy task when sunlight really hurts your eyes, and when you finally get over that, everything is just blurry! So I get to the phone, prepare myself and pick it up…

Me: “Hello?”
Phone: “…..”
Me: “Hello?”
Phone: “…..”
Me: “HELLO?! Is anybody actually there”
Phone: “…..”
Me: “You’re an idiot!”

So I hung up, pretty annoyed about the fact that I had been woken up because presumably somebody somewhere thought it would be funny to prank call me at 6.15 in the morning! So I took the phone back to the bedroom with me, in case they tried again. I got in to bed and Lara asked me who had called, I informed her politely that it was nobody and not to worry about it (honest, i didn’t swear or anything). So I got back to sleep, and Lara got up as normal, and I woke up while she was getting ready for work. We started talking about the phone call and I decided to call 1471, which will give you the number of the last caller, I was so excited, I could return the prank phone call! This would teach them a lesson! So we listened to it, and it started telling us the number…

…It was Lara’s number. I asked her a couple of times if she was sure it was definitely her number, and she said she was positive it was, but that it was impossible as her phone was on the floor next to the bed. So I told her to get her phone and to check her recent calls, and to her surprise, and my confusion, she had in fact called our house phone at 6.15am, but why?! Why would she do something like that?! Lara has an iPhone, and so to call anybody you need to do at least 4 or 5 things first, which means she is either evil and did it on purpose or she somehow managed to sleep call our home phone! I guess it’s lucky it was us she called, because i don’t think Dad would of been so forgiving!

Maybe we have a ghost…?
