John and I work well together. The little lady next door rings our doorbell, and I'm still naked, so John answers it and I chuck on a dress. He doesn't come back immediately and I don't recognize the voice, so I follow to see what's going on. There's down the side and John says to me "The peppermint tree's fallen on Next door's house!" I go "Oh fuck!" and head inside through the house, and then go "OH FUCK" as I think of the size of the tree involved. We both get there, look at each other and go "Ok, we need to ring SES first, I'll start ringing people" and John says "I'll start finding ways to help minimize the damage" and I ring Ma and Pa to watch spawn while we do it.
All sorted, and now it's one hour since it fell over, during which I have spent 26 minutes on hold to the insurance company, rung just about everyone who might be inconvenienced by this, rung Matt to inconvenience him about this *grin* and had some photos taken. Also has a quick wander next door to check it out from her side. Poor lady was all alone, family apparently half way between Perth and Kal, and was outside hanging out washing when it happened. She just watched....
We didn't even hear it. The first we knew was when she told us! And we had the doors and windows all open and everything. Obviously, it fell with a quiet crunch and not a whimper!
