Last night, I got that horrible Knight Bus home and very fortunately had the key on me so I could get into the flat -- otherwise, I'd have to have woken up everyone with incessant knocking until either Rhodri or Johanna let me in. Anyway, so it was well-past midnight when I opened the door, tip-toed past the kitchen, down the hall, to my bedroom, walked in, turned on the light and immediately dimmed them, was just about to change when...

I SUDDENLY HEAR BLOODY SCREAMING DOWN THE CORRIDOR.

So, of course, I run out, but I'm only in an old t-shirt and my underwear. Thinking it's an emergency, I obviously decided that there was no need for prudency and besides, I'm brandishing my wand about anyway and...

There I am, half-naked, half scared to death and confronted with the old lady from the flat upstairs and a mouse sitting in her hair. Oh, and two landings worth of our insane building's occupants staring at us both.

Sometimes I think life is so ridiculous, it's staged.
