I wanted to catch the Tomb 10A exhibit before it leaves at the end of
this month, so I convinced cris to meet me there last night.

I'm wondering now if the landlord just came in and didn't leave a note

In Australia, that's illegal.
It would also be... breaking the first rule of intrusion. And breaking in. Could there be a breeze that slammed it?

(your drinks are too complicated for me)

I'm pretty sure it's illegal here too (as well as not giving 24 hours notice before showing the place for new renters), but landlords have been known to pressure tenants to allow it for "convenience".
All the windows were closed and locked (I'm a bit paranoid about living on the first floor), and the door's never budged even with lots of windows open.

The drink was just a modification on a whiskey smash, but yeah, it's more of a Saturday afternoon drink than a quick nip after work drink. :)

I wrote a long thing here but somehow I killed it so: consider a webcam to "pwn" your landlord. They are repeat offenders.

All complicated drinks are complicated.

I'm going to try asking the landlords first, I still trust them. I suspect the slugs, actually, they're out to get me.
I was telling cris about this book yesterday, I think you might appreciate it:
