It turned out to be a leaf blowing back and forth.
I should have realised it was no mouse or bird, as the sound of leaves blowing on nearby concrete gave me a hint as to the mysterious footsteps above our sleeping heads.
Wind was gentle and easterly.
I went to investigate.
Outside, Leo, Jupiter and Mars were shiny bright, forming a lovely view above a dark silhouette of a nearby tree.
It was bone chilling easterly cold and but for the dance of leaves on concrete and roof, it was as quiet as could be.
A lone meteor shot across the sky from below Gemini, heading towards Jupiter at a middling speed.
I went back to my warm bed.
