She went out, I think he ..
Was outside and burnt something?
And he's nearly as deaf as himself on *this* side of the fence.
Fortunately, she came back, just as I was heading over.
Phew!
(Although I have the phone numbers for both the real estate and the house owner now, and I would have called the fire brigade at first sign of smoke or flames, of course. )
Not ever doing a whole weekend of the alarm going off again, lol!
