haunted

The alarm clock went off twice very early this morning making the dogs jumpy and both times when I woke up with a jolt I saw out of the corner of my eye a presence leap across the room. Is this a protective spirit, or does it wish me harm? Perhaps a bit of both, stick and carrot.

Meanwhile I am headed for Sydney for a few days of grim spending and keeping up appearances. Actually I am not keeping up appearances at all. I am dressing comfortable. It just seems right.
