The bedroom smoke alarm went off. Not an annoying beep: a full blown alarm. Me, cats, dog - rocket a foot in the air. No smoke, though. None at all. So my unsteady self climbed on stool and yanked the offending alarm out of the ceiling. There are alarms in the other bedrooms and in the hall and once mine was was disconnected from electricity and the battery pulled out (the alarms are interconnected) there was blessed silence. Alarm is less than a year old. Battery is no older - I replaced all the alarms and batteries last summer.
Copper refused to come back to bed. Once I got back to sort-of sleep I had bad dreams and drooled all over my pillow the rest of the night.
Haven't put the damn thing back yet.
