It's a beautiful day in Joburg so far. An almost clear sky, warm and the birds are singing. However, I'm tired (no sleep whatsoever last night), irritable, and trying to hatch a plan.
You see, I have a problem. My partner and I have moved into a new place, albeit in the same complex (we like it there and it's far too much hassle to move far) and it stinks. I mean, literally, stinks. Having inspected the place very briefly a month previously, we could smell cat wee. However, we presumed (wrongly) that the cat had sprayed only on the furniture (as seen by my partner) and therefore the stench would be removed when they moved. WRONG.
The place was filthy (four days and it's still not clean enough for us) and the smell is so bad that after washing the carpets with an industrial cleaner 10 times, it's still as strong as ever. Luckily, the carpets are being replaced today. This is not to mention all the other stuff that's wrong with the place either. Sigh.
You may wonder why I'm telling you all this. Simple. To demonstrate the power of the Internet, and blogs. How else as editor of a marketing magazine would I ever get to vent like this. To the world, no less. Or, at least to those reading this blog. And if I happen to find out the name of this woman who kept 10 cats (most of whom must have been feral as all cats registered in the complex have to snipped, and you're only supposed to have one) I will be posting her name on my blog and probably dedicating a website to her.
I love the Internet.
