What an absolute nightmare. There was a fire in the apartment above mine a month ago and it's been similarly distressing and all-encompassing, including unmasked people coming into my place all the time. I will be hoping so hard that your bathroom disaster is done being fixed ASAP and that nobody involved has or gets COVID!

i'm so sorry you have had such an awful time of it, and also you are such a wonderful writer, i laughed till i cried reading it out loud to my wife. also i once had a landlord who, upon coming over to investigate the leak in the ceiling OVER MY BED, monologued at me for 45m and then said confidently that he didn't think it would rain again that season so i just shouldn't worry about it. i was so flabbergasted that i just let him leave and my wife had to convince me to get him to come back and actually fix it.

I really thought the title of this was Ruptured Yikes Pipes, which isn't wrong, I guess.

Gentleman Jack! I bet you are just as handsome, and dapper also. My (feminist) choir sang the theme song recently and I learned so much more about Anne Lister...
