Captain Supernova

Today at around 5am my house alarm went off. For some reason, I felt brave enough to jump straight out of bed and help my parents investigate the cause…was I crazy?! The alarm box we have said it came from the Dining Room…that has two glass doors on one side leading to my garden, and long windows on the other, leading to my driveway. It could have been either. I’m convinced it was someone in my garden trying to get it. Or the annoying cat who always walks passed. The reason I thought this was because our next door neighbour’s back light was on, and yet there was no-one outside from their house/their door wasn’t open. So, surely, the burglar/cat out of fright would’ve climbed into their garden. Makes sense, no?!

Well I told this to my dad who said that our alarm is an infra-red laser which doesn’t travel through glass. Erm…yes it does! My final part of my proof which I’ll carry out today is how long our back light stays on for. It probably (although not definitely, depending on what part of my garden the cat/burglar came from) would have picked the person up from their movements, then would stay on for a certain amount of time. But it was off by the time my parents went downstairs…

I really should be a detective XD

Anyway, I have a new GORGEOUS astropic!
