Today’s big work discussion turned to ghosts and general spookiness. I have no idea how the conversation started but potentially it was by the fact that the back corridor is always considerably colder than the rest of the building. The rooms going off it can be boiling with Hawaiian themed parties happening inside and you would still have to put a coat on to survive in the corridor. It leads basically nowhere – there are some stairs at the back which are dark and spooky – the kind of stairs you half expect a serial killer to drag his axe down. Switch on all the lights and even they cannot truly penetrate the darkness. We all admitted one after the other that we really don’t like going down there on our own. Creepy.
Of course this led us all to leap on Google and find out if there had been any violent deaths in the building – you know something juicy! But he most we found was that an ex-Mayor (well, Alderman) lived here back in the 1860s who was also a coroner. Images of bodies in the basement followed… Until we remembered that coroner’s don’t tend to take their work home with them! Well, not unless they’ve got ‘issues’.
Anyway I mention this as an apology fro not being on other blog’s this week. (The connection goes discussing ghost’s, remembering Hilly’s excellent post about ghost’s, feeling guilty, needing to apologise). Tomorrow I have devoted some evening time to catch up and then more at the weekend, post Apple store visit. I do still love you all and am merely being a neglectful prat. I will make it up somehow… As soon as I think of a way.
