Strange things are going on in my house
today.
There is no-one here today but me and the fur
kids:>) This morning, I was startled by a huge crash on the main floor and
when I went to investigate, I found that a tall, painted container which sits on
top of the toilet in the powder room had crashed to the floor, spilling its
contents. I was rather surprised and called out right away to the cats. One of
them occasionally climbs up on things, and he meowed from somewhere nearby when
I called but I couldn't ascertain if he was the culprit or not. Then I put the
matter down to the fact that the window was open and maybe somehow the wind had
made the curtain catch into the container.
Then a few minutes ago, there was a huge crash
from downstairs. I ran down, thinking again that maybe one of the cats had
knocked something over. The dog was just as startled as I was and stayed close
to my heels as I went to investigate.
I found that a large chime I've had for many years, made out
of sea shells strung together, had crashed from where it hangs above my kitchen
window right into the sink. I picked it up immediately, checking for damage. It
is only a little chipped here and there. I checked the hook it hangs on, which
is still firmly screwed into the bulkhead above the sink. Then I checked the
chime's hanger - tripled looped fishing wire, and that is also intact. In fact,
everything is intact but the few chipped seashells. When I realized this, I
immediately said 'OK, who's there?' - no answer. So it occurred to me to check
the time on the phone display and it read 3:13. This was maybe a minute or two
after the event happened. I rearranged the chime and then on a whim, went back
into the powder room to look at the container that had fallen over earlier, and
I realized that the curtain clears it by an inch or two so there is no way the
wind knocked it over. So unless it was
my
cat,.......
All this done, I grabbed a glass of water and
headed back up to my computer. As I sat down to type this, I realized that now
my computer clock was showing 3:13 *grin*. I know the clocks aren't
synchronized, but I just found it funny that I looked at each clock when it was
showing the same time.
Strange, isn't it:>)
