Just Teething Issues, Sir

I call the management company and explained last night’s intruder incident and they are completely horrified and arrange for the owner to get the locks changed this evening. I also tell them that the washing machine flooded the kitchen when I used it the other day, as did the dishwasher (the drainage must be blocked) and the air conditioning unit leaks after a few hours of it being on (it leaked all night in the end, which is bad) so they should be sorting that out this week. 

It’s OK – just teething issues, Sir

I head to the gym later on, but my card doesn’t let me in – so I think I need to register or something, so I head into the management office and get greeted like an old friend when they realise I am the one who’s been on at them to fix various bits and pieces in the place. Never mind that, just get the stuff sorted…

Anyway the gym looks like it’s never been used – it’s huge, with all new equipment. At one end there is a mirrored wall, with all the kit just in front of it, facing it, so you can watch yourself sweat (and look like death whilst you are exercising) – the rest of the (expansive) room is completely empty. Thing is, the bit where the kit is has no air conditioning: the units are on the other side, where there is nothing! After about 5 minutes on the bike I was sweating like a cow’s wotsit and dripping body fluids all over the floor. Lovely!
