I love the smell of paint fumes in the morning
Well, it appears that my neighbours downstairs have been doing some decorating. I vaguely notice the smell of paint/turps/whatever in the bathroom last night - presumably coming out of the fan vent. This morning I woke up rather early to discover that the delightful scent had spread to the rest of the flat and become rather more pungent. I but the bathroom fan on in the hopes of at least stemming the tide, but it did very little to get rid of what had already come in, and left in running while I trudged off through the icy air to work. This evening I got home to find the situation little different, and facing the choice of freezing or suffocating, I opted to have the windows open for an hour or so while I did shopping and chores. Now it's down to a faint background smell, hopefully enough to allow me to get some sleep tonight. Meh.
