[Magdalen] Alarm insanity

[Sally Davies]

Sheesh, I guess...could have been anything. It seems to distinguish between
"tamper" and "service issue" and was showing the latter.  Oddly enough we
hadnt paid the bill and they emailed an account yesterday...crossed my mind
that it was deliberate! One can get paranoid very easily at 2 am!

This thing about praying in absolute faith, nonsense. I was desperate
enough but had no sense of conscious faith when I begged for mercy. I just
felt I should try again and for unknown reason put the same numbers I had
already tried about twenty times, but at a much faster pace. Hey presto,
blessed silence!!

I feel a bit ragged this morning though, was already overtired before this.
Kids break up school tomorrow, thank goodness.
