As I was preparing dinner last night the building's fire alarm went off. It is a deafening sound! As we all know, you are not supposed to use the elevators. We had already descended ten flights of stairs earlier in the day so John was not in a hurry to test his new knees on a second descent to the street. Consulting with neighbours we decided to "wait it out". Looking down we saw Adrian and Ashley stepping out of a taxi at the same time as the fire truck arrived.
It was at least 45 minutes later that the alarm was turned off. Frannie, John and I could finally remove hands and paws from our ears. Adrian and Ashley could enter the building for dinner. Apparently the Remax Barbecue had set off the smoke detector!
Around 10pm, when Adrian and Ashley had headed home, I checked the email to discover that our house had been broken into! The TV was missing, a ladder was tossed into the bushes, dresser drawers were open.
What a day!
