It had been puzzling me for a while. What is this noise that rings out at random intervals through the night? Is it my tinnitus gone a bit skewy in the heat? A bit of research, and I found out that it is the security alarm. It means, ‘Ahoy there potential armed robbers! I’m awake and alert. No need to come here cos I’ll get you’. Throughout the night Potential Armed Robbers are thus warned, by the security clanging an old car wheel chained to the tree about 15 meters from my bedroom! This, together with the local churches, calls for heavy duty earplugs.
