Evening Maladelica
Have you tried drinking a non-sugary caffeinated drink just before you catnap. Apparently, you can wake up in half an hour.

Oh, and congrats on passing the first stage. BTW I suspect your colleague was just flirting with you and not being serious. Had he been serious, he would have suggested you swallow the key.

There are no non-sugary caffeinated drinks here :(
I'm ashamed to say the catnap is normally my instinctive reaction to a cold house in the winter - get home from work, curl under the duvet and fall asleep once warm.

I reckon he was just flirting - he also wants me to get the job over him and is willing to endure being kidnapped to help my cause. Bless.

Back when I lived in a place with a gas fire, I'd just turn it on full blast whenever I got back. After cycling back in the cold and wet, it's just what I need.

If you want, I could help out with the kidnapping by transporting the cupboard somewhere random.

I'm putting mine on, but that's only cause I need to dry some clothes.

To Mexico!
My heating is shit - I have storage heaters in each room and they never get the place hot enough. I'm currently wrapped in a blanket and sitting with a hot water bottle on my back...

My current place has central heating
But I'm at the mercy of my landlady to decide when it should be turned on. So my flat alternates between freezing and boiling.

Is she a benevolent landlady,
or a dragon, like my concierge in Switzerland? You may end up doing the this is my island in de sun, oi oi dance from Muppet Christmas Carol if it's the latter.

She seems benevolent
as long as she doesn't turn up the volume of her kids too often (they live next door to me).

The only volume for some children
is MUTE, after all.
