Little Stalky Investigates Random and Unidentified Noises

Today I was sat in the house on my own when I heard a random and unidentified noise.  A kind of beep beepity beep.  I sat up like a meerkat and looked around to try establish where the mysterious noise was coming from.  I could think of nothing that made such a noise.  I was mildly intrigued but not enough to bother to actually interrupt what I was doing.  So I continued to read my book and then a few minutes later it comes again.  Beep beepity beep.  What the hell?  I'm not worried as I don't think this beep beepity beep can belong to anything that devious.  I've got the remote controls in my sights and the washing machine has been out of action for a while now so I know nothing is sneaking up on me, but what is this random noise.  Back to the book and more reading but it's not long before the beep beepity beep is back beeping at me again.  What the heckity hell?  My curiosity gets the better of me and I start to search for the beep beepity beeper.  However, the beep beepity beep is not a continuous noise so I can't follow the sound.  I start rooting around my rucksack and find my phone blinking at me.  Low battery.  Beep beepity beep.  Well honestly.  Why didn't you say so.  My poor phone.  It must feel very unloved by me sometimes.  I retrieved my sleepy phone from the bag and gave it some juice.  That soon stopped the damn beep beepity beep.  I honestly had no idea that my phone made such noises.  Maybe it was frustrated with me and so found it's voice.  At least the beep beepity beep was a normal noise.  I've come across other random and unidentified noise that has put me into full on super Stalky ninja mode.  I was in the bathroom a few weeks ago and I was convinced there was someone in the house.  This led to much ear pressing to the door and hushed breathing.  I was debating whether I should wait in the bathroom until Mystical Roo returned before realising that maybe the someone in the house was Mystical Roo.  But should I call out?  Hmm.  In the end I became bored of lurking in the bathroom and ventured out into the hallway.  It turns out there was no one in the house.  It was just the wind.  That damned wind again.  When I was younger me and El Kenco came home and thought we heard someone upstairs.  It was actually just creaky floor boards or something but still, we were fairly sure something weird was going on so proceeded to head upstairs with a roasting fork.  As you do.  I seem to be very suspicious of random and unidentified noises.  I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.  I suppose the washing machine was a noisy beast and I was right to be suspicious about that!

  1. Things that go 'Beep' in the night
    should not really give one a fright.
    It's the hole in each ear
    that lets in the fear.
    That, and the absence of light.

    Milligan.
