It did cross my mind that starting this thread could be seen as another wind up! Promise its not!
No earthquakes around here that I've been made aware of. Neighbours haven't reported anything anyway.
I wasn't watching anything on tv (or similar) when I got up for a brew in the middle of the night and certainly not The Nutcracker mad idea!
No cat living with me now, unfortunately, so can't be that.
If I was sleep walking, I was pretty compos mentis when doing so! I managed to make a brew, a slice of toast and post on a GN games thread! But I definitely didn't smash Harold Hare and I didn't sabotage my cuckoo clock either!
And I was still awake when the woo was going on because when I went back to bed I lay and listened to the radio for a while.
Ah well, the clocks still going but Harold Hare is no more. But thanks for giving me a smile everyone! Don't suppose anyone else has had any unexplained woo moments have they? Make me feel a bit more sane?
Any thoughts on what could have caused this....
Went to bed at about 11 o'clock last night; nothing out of the ordinary. Woke about 02.30 and couldn't get back to sleep, so I got up, came downstairs and made a cup of tea. I sat in the living room and browsed GN (and even posted on a games thread) whilst I drank tea and went back to bed at about 03.30. Got up this morning and went back in the living room and I immediately noticed that a small ornament of a hare, which had sat quite comfortably on the mantlepiece for 10 years or more, was lying shattered on the floor. It was in fragments. I couldn't understand how it could have happened because I know that it was not like that at 03.30; I'd have noticed immediately. Whilst I was clearing it up, I looked at the cuckoo clock hanging on the wall. It was ticking, as normal, but the hands were at half past six. I went over to the clock to put the hands to the right time but both hands just swung back down loosely to half past six again. Several times it did that. I eventually managed to get the hands to the correct time and they've stayed that way since. But I didn't touch the clock before going to bed last night and can't understand why both hands would suddenly become loosened overnight.
Although both of these occurrences aren't particularly important, I'm mystified as to what on earth went on in my living room between half 3 and half 6 this morning. I don't normally believe in wooo, but I'm a bit 
about this. Any ideas GNetters?
