Can you smell smoke?
So last night i was sitting watching telly when i got a sniff of smoke... so i went round the house smelling each room to find the source of the smoke. at first i thought it was the oven or maybe even Jo's hair straighteners. the smell got more intense but there was nothing in the house so i opened the front door and was greeted by this scene!
the restaurant next door to us is being renovated and has had several large skips out the back of it over the last few months - last night their skip went up in flames!
my first reaction was to call the restaurant (its on speed dial) in hindsight it probably would've been better to call the fire brigade first....
my next call was 999.
after a few minutes they had it all sorted and the drama was over.....
So that was a little bit of excitement for our otherwise standard Saturday evening!

wow, that kind of drama rivals Ramsay Street!
...and much more exciting than our Saturday evening was.
Now be honest Simon....
Did you reach for the camera before, or after you reached for the phone?
That's very cool. I've only called the Fire Brigade out once - to the Quaker Meeting house in Kingston which had smoke coming out of the roof. Your story is better...
it was third on the list, I went inside after though when i realised i was the only spectator....
I've heard that arsonists take photo's of their fires....
it wasn't me honest!
