The Insurance man cometh...
Well a month to the day since the back door spontaneously exploded the insurance man arrived, apparently because it wasn't a security issue we weren't very high up the list of potential claimants.
Having inspected the glass he decided it was caused by a stone - well he's the expert, but I have to say that with that conclusion I can only assume he was part of the Warren Commission during the sixties - our back door was the victim of a single, weird trajectory stone, possibly thrown by the Jolly Green Giant or perhaps it was Steve Harmison practising in Oz.
Anyway the replacement glass. which at present is a very thousand grains of sand, will be installed in ten days time, apparently it needs to be sent to some sort of glaziers boot camp to toughen it up before it's tough enough to be called 'tough glass'.

So, Paul, I take it you believe the stone didn't act alone. Is there a grassy knoll near your house?
Shy, I think it must have been the hedgehog - peeved that he hadn't been fed - no sir, I don't believe the stone acted alone.
Actually whilst we've touched on that subject, I stumbled across a site the other day about JFK conspiracists and one of the guys on there is a rifle expert who said that LHO couldn't have hit him with the weapon he was arrested with.
This thing will still be rumbling on long after I'm gone.
You sure that you haven't been smoking strange herbs?
Herbs you say? Might that interfere with one's judgement?
