Last Night

At about 3am, the phone rang. Nano woke up and shook himself, I rolled out of bed and stumbled over to the telephone. When I was half way there, Krissa, still in bed, said, "I'll get it, hang on....hello?"

The phone rang again.

"Hello?" said Krissa.

The phone began to ring again so I just picked up the phone. It was my Mum, who had hit redial thinking her mother's number was the last number dialled. She was mortified and apologised profusely. I hung up and looked at Krissa, thinking she must have one of the portable phones.

Neither of the portables were in the room. In her sleep, Krissa had shoved her hand under her pillow, pressed it to the side of her head and talked into it.

It took us about ten minutes to stop laughing and after that I had a hard time getting to sleep.

I'm flying to England this evening for a week with my family.
