Things that go bump in the night

Got woken up in the early hours of this morning by a client in early labour. After reassuring her and her husband, was just settling down to sleep again when I was woken a second time by a rather unearthly noise which sounded like a cross between a baby crying and cats yowling. It turned out to be a couple of foxes fighting in the back garden who seemed quite determined to continue their confrontation with each other for another twenty minutes before finally leaving and allowing me to go back to sleep. Fortunately the phone stayed quiet until morning!
