It was our first day of work here in Sheffield, and although we had only been marking placement tests, not actually teaching, we were tired after the walk home, and just settling in for the evening.
And then there was that noise again! The fire siren really hurts your ears - no chance of sleeping through it - and it sounds in every single room.
So we slipped our shoes back on and trotted outside with everybody else ... wondering who the duffer was this time. A whole lot of foreign students have only just arrived, so the possibilities are great.
The trusty fire crews didn't seem to arrive quite so quickly this time ... it made us wonder if they would come at all if we ever do have a fire.
It did give us a chance to meet the other students who are living with us. I found out that the scrabbling in the ceiling above our room is actually 'Jackie' from Vietnam, who lives in 'U' flat along with 'Town' from Zhengzhou.
