Sixteen

Mark turned sixteen today. Happy Birthday, Mark!

We had a small family celebration that included dinner at Pinocchio and some time together at the flat. Presents included Manchester United and Real Madrid jerseys. This completes our home-away-from-home birthdays for 2016.

Our kitchen stinks. Really stinks. A disgusting stink. A death stink.

Commonwealth Hall recently addressed a rodent problem with delayed-action poison and chemical sprays. The porter who investigated our kitchen this afternoon suspects that one of the poisoned mice found its way to our kitchen to die. Thing is, we can’t find the culprit, although we suspect it is beneath the cupboards. How long must we put up with this?
