As a bloke of mature years I regularly get up during the night and have often heard someone try my door. It doesn’t bother me anymore and if I do hear someone I switch on the lobby light to show that someone is up and about.

Being aware that I do forget things now and again I have a routine before going to bed and if I don’t follow it exactly it nags at me in the head as I lay down my sleepy head and stops me from going to sleep.

My routine? The washroom, which includes the toilet, is but a yard away from my front and only door. The very last thing that I do before actually getting into bed is to attend the toilet and as I do so I check that the door is locked. It always is because during twilight time I lock it or during those long summer evenings the door gets locked around 7:00pm.
