DRAINS!!!
Hey all from a slightly disgusted michael.

I'm leaving here for home tonight and in Sam's absence, it fell to me to clear the blocked drain outside our window. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES! A year's worth of accumulated blockage is rather unpleasant, especially when two guys with long hair live there. The occasional hair lost whilst showering becomes a nasty lattice which traps all the dirt and filth which goes through that drain as the year progresses. I didn't have gloves, and the smell after scouring my hands with cleaning products (I stopped just short of bleach) was still terrible. I can only compare it to the time when we were little and found a decaying whale skull on the beach. Mum made us take our little plastic spades and pry rotting brain tissue from the bone. I'm still not sure why it was worth destroying my little red spade. Anyway, my hands smell a lot, and unfortunately so does my last scourer. Sigh.

Bloody hell.

I'll be back later. Love to all (even my out of work bum girlfriend).
