Morning cleanliness

John came home yesterday. He had been on a business trip to Paris. Thirteen hour flight there, some meetings, one presentation and then twelve hours back. I will try to make him write a post soonish.

He came back to d'Leedon around half past four and right after we left the luggage at the apartment went down to the pool. Swam around for a bit while he talked about the trip and explained in details the jokes he had made. I am sure they were funny; probably more in the right setting.

After he realized how tired he was and had no strength to swim around we went back upstairs, took a shower and walked out to buy some food. We are lucky because there is a food court just outside d'Leedon, but we are unsure when they close so when we got there around seven there were only five stalls open. Not even sure if all of them are taken, by lunchtime there are more open but not nearly all. We bought some rice and I ate chicken and John beef. It was good, not amazing and not great, but that is kind of the standard in courts. Sometimes they are really good! Lucky times.

We ate dinner by the TV, Netflix and chill for reals, and discovered how we could watch some specifik shows in 4K on our TV. Very crisp, very unrealistic, felt like we were on set. Looked good though, much better than VHS!

This morning was a surprise. I woke up with John as always, he being a bit slow but totally understandable after the long trip yesterday and the jetlag still clinging to his reversed time change. Just as he was leaving the apartment the intercom rang and somebody wanted to come up. AC inspection they said. I rushed to get dressed and John waited a few moments to let them in. Without warning here are now two Indian guys cleaning our four ACs. So strange. No warning, no call, no mail.

Not to be picky, they seem to clean them good and remove a lot of dust. Although, when they are done with one they leave it on and blast ice-cold air around the apartment. I mean, I can understand that is their standard but I did not put up a sign where it said Coldcave. Why so cold? Why at all? Leave them off, I would like that.

John bets it will cost a multum. I just signed a paper where it did not say any amount of money anywhere. I wonder if we have to pay this or our landlord? Also, this is apparently under law in Singapore, they have to do this inspection/cleaning service twice a year.

I hope there will be a warning next time.
