Experiment

Working away from home for a while now and at Dusseldorf I have been staying at the Hilton Hotel. Nothing really wrong about the place and it is actually quite nice. In fact, they even know my name now which is pretty sad indeed (although this week could be the last week). One thing that I notice though is that each night I get back to my room and I have to brush my teeth, something is just not right. Then one day, I realised what it is... They like to turn my toothbrush upside down. When I finish brushing my teeth I like to put my toothbrush with the bristles end down inside the glass (unless it has a holder like my cup at home). Each night I get back it gets turned upside down. Why do they do that? Am I doing something wrong? Why can't I have my toothbrush that way?

No time

Was going to post some stuff earlier but couldn't access this when I was in Dusseldorf.

Was going to post tonight but my flight was an hour delayed so just got home.

Going to post another day, if I still remember what I was going to write.

Seems like something is broken

Get into blogger, sign in, then clicked on new post, just gave me a blank screen. Had to click on edit post and then new post to get to the screen that I am currently typing this message on.

Fixed

Went to the dentist, fixed my teeth, all looking normal now. Hope it stays that way!

Signs of old age?

When I was young I was running around outside the house on a wet day. I was going around the corner and I slipped... falling flat on my face and chipped my front tooth. Had to go to the dentist for a filling and it was all good... for a long time.

This morning at breakfast I was eating and suddenly I felt something weird... when I used my tongue to check my teeth I felt a crack... wtf the filling came off! I have booked a dental appointment on Friday so hopefully I can get it fixed... SIGH

Getting older, probably not any wiser

Another year, and will no longer in the 20's. What a scary thought... Game on!

Flooding at OKR

Upstair's water valve controlling the water going into their boiler was broken and ended up flooding their apartment and water came through the floor and into our place. Luckily for us, apart from no electricity, phone, and internet for the day, no serious damage was caused. The below is a rough idea of what happened throughout the day...

5:30am - Woke up by the smoke alarm. The first thing that came to mind was 'Who is making toasts this morning?'. Got up to reach for the smoke alarm button... didn't stop. Turned to look at the clock... what the... 5:30?!?!?!?! Is it really a fire? Lets walk out and see.

5:32am - Went outside, no smoke, good sign. Went to the living room, the entire house's smoke alarm was going nuts. Looked upstairs and saw PT walk out of the room and saw what was in her room. Kind of shocked... water came flooding down from the ceiling through her smoke alarm.

5:33am - Went for the toolbox to get the screw driver so I can stop the smoke alarm, knowing the button won't work I have to just knock it out totally.

5:40am - Knocked out all the smoke alarms apart from 1 in KT's room. The girls were knocking on her door trying to get her to open. Apparently she didn't notice the entire house was going nuts.

6:00am - Trying to contain the situation, buckets, bowls, and towels everywhere. Water seeping through and now lines of water running down the walls in my room.

6:30am - After calling emergency, plumber, and landlord, there really isn't a lot we could do. PT hungry.

7:00am - Decided to look for people upstairs, he came down to assess the situation. After mentioning many times, PT decided to go to Sainsbury's to get breakfast.

7:30am - Emptied 2 buckets of water from upstairs. PT back so OKR had breakfast in front of the newly installed water features.

7:45am - Landlord arrives, had put on a lot of weight. Probably a bit shocked of the situation and thinking WTF. Apart from his huge pot he didn't show any emotion and declined breakfast offer.

8:30am - Landlord finished using his carpet drying machine and left. OKR exhausted and slept on couch, have photos. SMS FLy to tell her to keep sleeping, run canceled.

9:30am - J called FLy, half asleep. Then PT and J slept on couch, KT went back to bed, KH playing DS.

10:00am - PT and J still won't get up to go out. KH struggling with Puyo Pop Fever. KT sleeping.

10:30 to 11:30am - PT, J, and KH all left the house to do various stuff. KT sleeping.

1:30pm - KH returned home. KT sleeping.

3:30pm - KT woke up. KH about to go sleep.

6:00pm - KH got up, PT home, KT went back to sleep.

6:30pm - Everyone awake in OKR and prepared to go out for the night.
