shower update

Did I tell you the lovely Scottish electrician installed a completely new and updated fuse box for me? Do you know what that means? That means I take comfortably warm -- even hot -- showers for as long as I want to. I no longer have to place the anticipatory chair underneath the fuse box so that when the circuit breaks I can hop out of the shower, run down the hall, hop up on the chair, reach up and flip the switch, hop down from the chair, run back down the hall, hop back into my shower, and rinse my hair and body before the circuit breaks again.

Blessed goddess of wiring.

However, one of the ground floor flats was burgled and a roll of al-u-min-ium foil was found on the stairs. Al-u-min-ium foil is a sure sign of heroin smoking, so they tell me. I don't mind if people smoke heroin, I just don't want them doing it in my stairwell and burgling my flat. It could be that that al-u-min-ium and the burglary are unrelated. I'd hate to blame the heroin smokers for something they didn't do. They get a bad enough rap as it is.

I need renter's insurance.
