’Leo: You will experience that the coming week will be more coloured by the humdrum routine than you might wish’ .
That's what it said in the paper this morning.
Well, not quite right. Had it said something along the lines of: ‘You will experience that the coming week will be more coloured by picking half a million tiny fragments of glass out of the carpet than you might wish, having had a visit from some hairy-arsed thugs in a stolen BMW who battered the front door of your business down at 3am and made off with a load of watches and gold rings’, then that might have been nearer the truth.
It was quite surreal waking at 6 (after having finally fallen asleep at 5 when the last of the police and alarm company people had done what they could and gone home) to hear our name on the radio. We had got a mention on the local news.
Fame at last.

so thats why you were up at such an ungodly hour!
good luck with the clean up operation
Yup, I was bloging while they were boarding up the door!
We've awarded ourselves a day off today so we can get cleared up.
I'm sorry to hear this, FC. I hope that the clean up and repairs went well.
Damn, that really sucks!
Nitebyrd: Thanks, we're both still pretty shaken.
Sorry to hear you bad news. I hope they find the bastards that did this soon.
Suze: Thanks for that. police aren't hopeful, our stuff is probably being sold on a Polish Street market at this very moment.
Oh what a shitty thing to happen! I hope things are getting a little bit back to normal now.
Daaaaaamn, sorry about the break in. That sucks donkey dick. My folks owned a liquor store and we used to get hit all the time. Mostly for the pints and half-pints behind the front counters. We didn't have anyone drive a car through the business though.
Hey, you never know. What is it they say? Even bad publicity is still publicity?
Trixie: Thanks. I suppose it could have been worse, just think if had all gone off while we had been away!
Mr M.D. it wasn't quite that drastic...this time. They didn't drive the car through the door, just piled out of the car and beat the door in with a length of scaffolding pipe. We're pissed off because the door ought to have withstood it better, the armoured glass cracked but was not holed, it was just battered intact out of the door frame. Our insurers will be having serious words with the glazing company.
