Tiptoeing through the tulips, stomping on the petunias
A Perthville woman has been forced to confront her crippling sleepwalking condition, that threatened to end her career as a Landscape Gardener.
The serial sleepwalker is out and about every night, and has become a familiar sight in the neighbourhood, walking glassy-eyed, arms out-stretched, apparatently oblivious of her surroundings, just like in the movies.
But fed-up neighbours told Perthville Times they are sick and tired of her stomping through their gardens, ruining their petunias and such. The Landscape Gardener denies it, insisting whenever challenged that she was fast asleep in bed all night.
“I know that you always hurt what you love,” one neighbour confided, “but this has simply got to stop. So we’ve taken out an AVO against her, and she can expect a Supreme Court injunction compelling her to either seek treatment or have herself strapped into bed each night.”
