Melbourne

This morning I noticed the paint cans were moved again and the shed was once again wide open. Still nothing on my front security cam, which means if he did return he had to have either jumped the fence in the backyard or must've had the front door key cut to unlock the side gate that faces onto a road (the gate into the back yard from the front yard just has a latch and no key, but the gate from the road uses the same key as the front door).

Before I went to bed last night, I took a peek at the shed door and it was definitely locked. So I'm going to go buy another security cam that'll face the shed as well as the side road gate. I'll also set one of our outdoor chairs against the door in case it really is the wind. At the very least, if it is somehow the wind, I should get some peace of mind about it. And if it is somebody opening the door, then, well, I'll have to cross that bridge if I come to it.

This shed is more like a garage but without a garage door. It's made of bricks and looks kind of similar to the new fancy modern ones they put in all the new double decker cube box house things, just freestanding and in the back yard. Unfortunately there's no way to padlock it or lock it without changing the lock, which the area manager did agree to have done ASAP, but their contractors tend to be kind of slow so it might be a while. The side fence gate from the front yard can be padlocked, so I ordered one from Bunnings that'll be delivered tomorrow. The gate to the road can't be locked anymore than it already is. That fence is high enough that it's not just decorative, but low enough even me and my out of shape self could probably jump over it with a standard kitchen chair. Someone a bit more in shape could probably just jump it.

Thanks melbsy, I think I'm going to call the course lady on Monday and explain how I'm feeling and see what she can offer. She did mention on Monday that I had a choice to either start anyway or wait til the next intake. But I think I need more time, so I might go for the next intake if she can still arrange it. My enrolment paperwork hasn't been signed yet anyway, so I haven't officially taken my place yet, do it can probably be done.

(Sorry for such a long comment... I didn't realise how long it was going to turn out)
