Start the week with a fireman...

....as I was awoken at 4am to the sound of the smoke alarm going off in the corridor of my apartment block. Upon investigation I smelt something acrid, like burning plastic wires and I ascertained the alarm was sounding in my neighbour's apartment.

So it was at 4.10am we were all outside in our PJs awaiting the fire brigade who duly arrived and unable to rouse my neighbour, broke in the door and found that a pan had been left on the stove and the handle was burning away good-oh. Thankfully my neighbour was OK but had been inside the apartment all the while!

It's now Thursday and still the stink of smoke lingers in the hallway....

The firemen were lovely - all 2 units of them :))
