We got a ghost!

We have lived in our little stone cottage which we believe was built when the railway came to the valley for over 15 years and always thought we had a ghost.
Strange smells on the upstairs landing the idea that you saw a shadow move across a room or around a corner, things not in their usual place?   We never gave the ghost a name but always imagined it to be a woman.
It was no surprise some months ago when a couple of kitchen items "disappeared"!  An enamel roasting tin and a metal non stick flat baking sheet just vanished.  We use the enamel tin to cook off oven chips so probably used it once a fortnight so it was strange when it was not in its usual place in the drawer next to the cooker. We looked high and low checked all the cupboards twice but all to no avail. We assumed "she" had been at work!
We have friends coming for the weekend so you do kind of make more of an effort with the hoover and duster.  Ugh! the cooker looks a bit manky I thought so knowing it only takes a short while to clean it I whipped out the kind of tray thing with an oven shelf that sits on it.  There were a couple of dead chips in the bottom of the tray that resembled the fingers of an Egyptian mummy.  Apart from that though it looked quite clean, I like to cover everything in tin foil to avoid a marathon cleaning session when the oven finally produces so much smoke that "you know it needs cleaning!"
But wait a minute!, whats this!,  underneath the tray thing was the "Enamel roasting tin and sitting underneath it the flat baking sheet!  
So all this neither proves or disproves that we have a ghost but it does show however, we "dont" clean the oven until it really needs it!

So exiting times just now, we have friends staying the weekend, we are going to the Chatsworth Country Fair" on Saturday then next Monday Tuesday I will be travelling over to Wales to complete the abandoned 2nd day of the Welsh 15 Peaks.
I'm going to attempt to blog my progress using my "Iphone".  I will either travel over Monday and if the weather is really good do the walk that day, or start early on the Tuesday.  The blog will start with a link to a picasa web album and I'll post pics as well as some text.  Dont miss it!

Real drama at work the other day according to my boss, "lets call her TracEy"  capital E because I always spell her name wrong she says.  Being a closely regimented system the bosses have to fill in various forms throughout the day and it seems the book containing these forms had gone missing.  Safe to say it was found but TracEy almost needed counselling and therapy before it was.  A slightly tainted rumour is that someone hid it but I cant possibly comment on that!  

And finally we have to admit that"little Sainsbury" is no longer little.  He's taller than Tom our old black moggy, his tail is very long and he still looks as if his legs are too long for him, we guess he has another growing year so by then he might resemble something the size of a small pony.  We shall see, here he is resting right now after a hard night out reducing the local rodent population!
