Yes, they will be - staff forget to close them when they leave - but some of them are a security risk as the building is largely empty overnight and at weekends. Hence a closedown at the end of the day when security goes round checking for windows and locking exterior doors. It's a web of security cameras all over the place and fobs to open doors. Last night's behaviour didn't make sense - why lock external doors early but not close windows?!

Absolutely. 😊 One small furry 1990s one has taken up residence. The bigger wooden 1960s one is the issue, he's a real piece of furniture given his size.

I used to have a huge wooden rocking horse when I was a child, I absolutely adored it. My mum gave it to a neighbour to store when we moved house, didn't claim it back and the neighbour passed it on to her grandkids (presumably with my mum's permission). What a shame it didn't survive in my family.
Courgettes - I grow mine in a huge storage container, I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination but they seem to do quite well. That said I'm the only one in the house who eats them so as long as they produce one or two a week I'm happy.
I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪2
