We slept with the door open last night.

It was so stuffy in the flat that we left the bedroom door open, along with the window, and the fan created a cooling breeze.

But that was not the only thing left open.

Earlier in the evening, when the Sainsbury’s order arrived, I had run down four flights of stairs to collect the grocieries, putting the door to the flat on the latch. P arrived home with takeaway at the same time as the groceries, and there was a policeman on the doorstep, and we had to lug everything upstairs and things all got a bit distracting after that.

I didn’t notice this morning until I went to leave the flat and noticed that the door opened a little too easily. It had been on the latch all night.

What’s the appropriate response now? Is it to panic in reverse about what could have been? Or to be thankful it didn’t, and vow to lock it properly tonight?
