The last few days have been a bit trying. Had a call from my lady girl friend on Friday to say she thought the cat had left a dead animal under the bed. When i got home we moved the bed and shifted the door and other detritus that was underneath it...bad idea. For the past I don't know how long there has been a fungus growing under the bed (spores potentially explaining the good lady's recent respiratory issues), the smell was then released into the room and made a bad situation worse. At risk of having our clothes covered in mould we decided to relocate everything to the front room.
I had moved in just a week earlier and we were concerned then about whether all my stuff would fit in the apartment...this seems like a trivial concern compared with getting clothes, towels, bedding, wardrobe, mattress (now in space-saving format it's on its side during the day, and moved down for sleeping) and everything else we own into a pretty compact area. The issue appears to be water rising up through the porous conrete, and some digging is going to be required over the next few days.
Added to this I am attempting to study for an exam next Tuesday, and my passport hasn't come back from the Chinese Embassy (sent by them 6 days ago). You can see why the English get a reputation for moaning!
