Distinctly Odd

[poliphilo]

For months now Dot has been waking in the early hours of every morning to hear a cuckoo clock strike twelve- only she doesn't own a cuckoo clock.  In between each of the "cuckoos" comes something that sounds like a snatch of recorded speech- too muffled to decipher. The noise is loudest in the vicinity of the cupboard that houses the boiler.

None of us has the least idea what is going on.

Then the waking dream/memory seems a likely suspect. I once got out of bed to go to switch off the cuckoo - then remembered I'd not owned one for several years - and it seems possible that she's misinterpreting the sound between the notes, although her memory recorded it correctly
