hathycolSo this morning I woke up extremely late, and then had a leisurely shower. Stepped out of shower, went to bedroom to get dressed and dry off, at which point the building fire alarm went off. Being naked and wet was not the best time for this. I doubted the building was on fire, but just in case I threw my pajamas back on and darted out the door. It turns out that what I will rescue in case of fire is my phone, my glasses and my rings. I'm not sure what this says about me.
I have no idea what it was, but someone knew the code to shut down the alarm once the neighbours still in the building (we were all in our pajamas, I was quite comforted to see, even though only I hada towel wrapped around my head) all worked out that no one was on fire. There was a burnt food smell downstairs, though, which might explain things.
Also, when I eventually did get dressed and leave the house (i.e. on purpose), I walked past a woman wearing a fur coat. Her chihuahua had a polyester coat on. The world is weird.
I am now going to start on a grand quest of Getting Rid Of Stuff, ready for when the packing starts in the very near future. Some measurements tell us that one of these things is going to be not only the armchairs but also the sofa, so hopefully bunging it on Gumtree will get it sorted. I envision our last few weeks here being on cushions. Oh dear.
