I've had an interesting night. I wasn't able to fall asleep quickly but when I finally had I was woken up shortly after because a neighbour was having a fight over the phone, or himself (I'm not sure). That lasted until shortly before 1am.
Whilst trying to fall asleep again I kept hearing a rustling sound, it moved around the room and every time I turned the light on it went quiet. When I finally managed to start dozing off again I saw a flash of light (with my eyes closed) and heard a very loud bang. I first thought it was someone setting off fireworks. Until I heard all the police and ambulance sirens, followed by two helicopters hovering over the neighbourhood. This morning I read that criminals blew up one of the cash machines in the little shopping center about 750 yards from my friends' place (I saw the flash!).
Falling asleep was impossible with the helicopters, plus the rustling still continued. I did finally found out the rustling was a moth, which I caught and released. The helicopters didn't leave until after 3pm, by that time I was wide awake. Eventually I did manage to fall asleep.
So I only had a couple of hours sleep. I have to work from 10am until 5pm, though with current temperatures and the prediction of cooler weather next week I don't expect it to be busy. After that I have to prepare dinner because my sister is coming over tonight.
