Give them enough rope......

..... and they'll hang themselves. Not quite the right quote for the circumstance but the thought ran through my head when I saw this small ball of rope with noose ready.

I had just finished reading in the paper that the boy responsible for the crime wave here has been apprehended all because he went to a house where he was known, was disturbed and fled but then came into our street and was followed by several of our neighbours as he tried car doors, went on to properties and then out and over our back fence. We haven't heard officially but the cctv cameras at the school would have picked him and his mate up and tied it all together enough to be able to make a charge.
BUT not for our burglary. That needs some hard evidence which may or may not surface. Anyway he was stupid to revisit the scene of his crime.

A wet day so Trev and I made the Christmas mince pies having had the mixture ready for some weeks. Two pies collapsed so those were our samples and they are ok.
