On Thursday evening, during a break in the storm, our neighbour came to us because she'd locked herself out her house. The door had slammed shut in the wind. They have an electric fence which she said was not turned on, so I tried an aluminium ladder, but changed my mind.
In the end I took the ladder up to our terrace, we climbed up onto the roof, then another higher part to get to her terrace over some railings. She's a big girl too but quite agile on the slippery metal. Anyway, she managed to slide over the railings and find a key that she'd hidden.
It was a bit dramatic because her severely disabled two year old child was in the car with her mum and needed her drugs, so fortunately we were able to help.
