Uh-oh!!!!!
You read about these things in the paper but you never dream that they will ever happen to you.
At first light - at about 5.00am there was this tremendous banging and thumping on the door. I was just calling the police when I realised that it WAS the police battering down the door. They broke into the house and herded us all into the sitting room with a very large man keeping us under guard. I asked if they had a search warrant (I read too many books) and they did so there was not much we could do except sit and listen to them tearing the place apart.
Eventually they bundled up Peter's computer and all his CDs and loaded them into their van. Then they grabbed Peter and took him away to "help them with their enquiries". The only reason I am still able to do this blog is because, being the trusting soul that I am, nothing on this computer is password protected and they were able to access all my files. Peter, being an IT sort of person has everything in secret folders in case we read his stuff when he is out.
Mandy distinguished herself by making a dash for the bathroom and throwing up. Scared, guilty or maybe she actually has some sort of tender feelings for Peter after all.
