A simple doorknob can give me such a feeling of nostalgia. Is there a job called "loving old houses" or some such?

Have you had the carbon monoxide levels checked? That can cause weird brain states that can be interpreted as ghost encounters.
That house has been in your family since before European settlement of the state of South Australia. Holy old house, Glattman.

I'd be working in the cellar and hear the front door open and close, then footsteps on rug, hardwood, rug and hardwood again, all the way to the dining room. I'd go upstairs and nothing. This happened pretty frequently to me, and two other people who were here when I wasn't home. The kicker is the dog would look up too.

Cultural differences mean I say big house! as opposed to old house.
I categorically don't believe in ghosts, heaven, life after death or reincarnation. But I am very easily spooked for all that. Perhaps I judge other people through my own lens, and assume that they are just creeping themselves out too. I don't think I've ever had the Heebs though. I think that was Monster.

Ooh! I just know I've seen one of those "Oops, accidental reflection!" ones in a doorknob.
I won't look either. I want Diz to respect me.

I thought I'd missed the start of the England vs France match.
Dad was calling someone a fucking arsehole downstairs. Checked the clock - KO is 17.00. Okay. He is objecting to a commentator. My father so rarely swears, but when he does he is either driving or watching football. Last night he turned the commentary off (ITV) and listened to Radio 5 Live instead (BBC). Unfortunately the radio was about 5 econds ahead of the TV. He loved it. As I wandered in and out he would gleefully say to me "He's going to hit the crossbar!" or "Watch! Tackle!" I was busy making cakes for school. Only to realise this morning - while cleaning my teeth - that it was an Inset Day (teachers only training). Took them in anyway, they'll have needed fuel and silly to let them get a day staler. Off to join Dads for the match now. Laters potaters!

Speaking of cool old buildings, as part of my job, today I was entrusted with the keys to this:
Here's the inside, where we'll be running exams next week. ETA Well, I did have to give the keys back at the end of the day, but I did go for bit of an explore and climbed up the tower on the right corner in pic one. ETAA great collection of pics at http://www.flickriver.com/photos/tag...l/interesting/ including some of it very creatively lit as part of an art festival.
