You Know Your House Is Damp When...
I keep finding slugs in the bathroom. They are coming up through the drains in the sink and the bath and then setting out on a bold pioneering trek to the lino. I keep picking them up in paper (I think I heard somewhere that the salt and acids on our skin burns slugs and worms) and putting them outside, but another one always turns up.
It could be that there are, in fact, just two slugs that like my bathroom and keep coming back inside. Next time I will tag them before release.
Also my leather jacket and laptop case were covered in mildew the other day. I've started to leave the window in that room open during the day, but the problem with that is, none of the internal doors shut properly so having the window open in one room and the heat pump in another makes heating costly.
However the mildew is retreating so it is worth it. My poor jacket! It's just that it's kind of big on me - always was, but moreso now - so I don't wear it that much. I really had it as a Wellington jacket, because nothing stops the wind like leather. Christchurch just doesn't have the same kind of weather.
