Time in Motion.

I have finsihed for the day and I find I am reflecting on an incredible day.

At 1.30 this morning, Police pursuing a car ended the chase in my street. The car the suspects where driving, crashed into a lamp post a few doors down before spinning at least 3 times, comming to a halt outside my house. one of the suspects ran down my drive, and across my back garden before being tackled by a police officer, through my garden fence. It was a pretty strange night. The Police had to retrieve evidence from the back garden.

When i read of stories of ‘have a go heroes’ I wonder what i would do if I where in a similar situation. Well now I know. I stumble around the house all befuddled , making sure everything is ok before stuggling to find a pair of shoes and and seeing whats going on. to be frank I would be a crap have a go hero which is kind of sad really. I would like to think that I was a moral , upstanding citizen who would not hesitate to do the right thing. but the reality is in a crunch i have all the quick-wittedness of a cheese sandwich. I couldnt even remember my postcode!!!

The plus side is that Have a go heroes types to get asaulted and/or stabbed by the irrational criminal type they are looking to apprehend and in the current climate of knife related crime, its not something i would welcome.

after that sleep was pretty much impossible for the next 3 hours. mainly because a bunch or workmen turned up to make the wrecked lamp post safe (and also I dont admit to being a little unnerverd)

fast forward to this afternoon, where there was a fire drill. So for the second time today I have been involved in an emergency services-related activity. and They say nothing ever happens n a bank holiday!

That said I am slightly nervous about leaving the office now incase i get hit by a bus or something and end up having to got to hospital in an ambulance!
