Hola blogers,
There have been two notable events this week. The first was the arrival into the world of my niece - Isabella Beatrice. She was born on Tuesday and weighed just under 8lbs and mother, father and baby are all doing well. I am beside myself with excitement and can´t wait to fly to Yorkshire tomorrow night to go and see them. Apparently all the nurses are commenting on how pretty she is. Character wise she seems to be like her father so far - enjoys sleeping through the day and staying up late at night!
The second drama of the week was that Jose and I were burgled last night. The evidence, in my mind, points to a seriously strange person with a fetish for pink. The neighbour´s door has been forced open too but not one thing has been touched in there - which fits with my theory that I think teh robber quickly realised that there is only a single man living there and a seriously lack of pink. With this, he seems to have moved on to force our door open (which is a serious accomplishment as it has a steel bar running vertically down it controled by five steel fingers that slide horizontally). Once in our flat he has had a field day empting out drawers taking all the clothes out of my wardrobes etc etc. However, he has not bothered to open the drawers and cupboards on Jose´s side.
After the initial shock of seeing the flat ramsacked, we noticed that nothing had actually been taken. There were things of value such as ipods, cameras, expensive jewellery, credit cards, money, mobile phones, lap tops etc etc all just stren around. So he had looked at them but left them. The bag that had been filled with goods ready to escape with was left by the door - so he was obviously disturbed by a noise and chickened it. Strangely, considering all the stuff he had seen , as listed above, the stuff chosen and put in the getaway bag were as follows: three full bottles of my perfume, a pink glittery fancy skirt and top, a silver glittery cardigan, a pink t-shirt and a pink jacket ????????.
So, he was looking for very girly pink things. Maybe it was the pink panther!
The police are very puzzled by the things like mobiles, ipods and cameras left behind and are now buying into my theory of some trany with a pink fetish (of course!). Any further theories you blogers might have will be welcomed.
We have been seriously lucky because we don´t have insurance for house contents (I now discover!). You can bet your bottom dollar we will have it by tomorrow though. If they had have cleared us out it would have been a nightmare. Jose thought that no one would ever be able to get through that door .... and I must say others who have seen it have commented in a similar manner. Looks (and locks) are obviously deceiving!
When I told my Mum about the circumstances of the robbery her comment was: Are all your knickers still there .......even the pink ones?
With that thought I shall leave you. Hast la proxima!
