World Travellers

I have a head cold, and zero attention span, so I'm rereading fic, with breaks for micro-naps, just so that I'm not completely bored. Today's tyop:

explicit homophonic law

(correct text: explicit homophobic law)

I'm sure there are some interesting jokes there.

Yesterday morning, Youngest reported mould on the wall that their room shares with the bathroom -- mostly behind the door, where I'd entirely missed it, but also a bit along the skirting board (behind the wardrobe we moved).

My first response was approximately 'argh' followed by blue screening, because I could not work out what needed doing. Some time later, after the back of my head had had time to process, it was established that we are going to have to stop using that shower (yay for being a two bathroom household, even if one is the en suite to our bedroom), let the wall dry out, and then do something towards repairing. Probably taking all the tiles out, and resealing the wall, is my current thought. Although it might be that we can seal on top of the tiles, and I should investigate that (having said that, the tiles are original and damaged, and the grout is disgusting. Getting the tiles replaced is on the list of things I would like to have achieved).

But for the short term, we have swapped the study with Youngest's bedroom. Which necessitated partial disassembly of the desk, and near complete disassembly of Youngest's bunk beds. And then swapping the furniture, a lot of vacuuming, and reassembly. Very much appreciate ariaflame helping, especially as the furniture building finger damage was borne by them.

At this point, there are a lot of the storage boxes in the main room; they will go into the new study real soon now, but by the time the contents of the wardrobes were moved, and the wardrobe in Youngest's old room moved (it is the only one without built in robes; the wardrobe was against the problem wall, and now it is not) I had the oomph to move about 10 storage boxes. And emptied one onto a bookshelf, because it is the pile of books labelled 'needs repair' that I think I should go through and maybe decided to throw some of them out, because it has been a decade.

There is bleach in someone's future.

And I'm aware that having the study set up where the mould is is sub-optimal. But it is better than it being the space that is used for sleeping. And I'm thinking that we keep that door mostly closed, so that it isn't getting into the rest of the house, which will have the added advantage of exposing the wall behind the door. I think that the window will have to be cracked for most of the next few months, which is not good as we head into the wet and cold part of the year. Not sure how much rain comes in that window, but I bet it is some
