Taken Down

Had a visit from my landlady yesterday, asking me to take the flag down from the window. :( Will rearrange my bedroom to have the bed further from the window because, ultimately, my aim was to use it as a curtain. I do notice the difference because the sun reflects off my blinds and walls; they provide privacy but little reduction in light.

In a similar vein, I had another "take down" this morning. Appears that Java Lab reboots itself at around 1am every Monday, so the experiments I set running last night abruptly halted. Restarted them today.

All in all just a big 'bugger!'.

Update: It wasn't the landlady's choice - the building owner instructed her to enforce all the building rules. :(

What was her problem with the flag? Did she compare it to laundry hanging on the balcony? Maybe she wouldn't complain if it was the Canadian flag.

You could always put up a pirate flag instead...

I'm pretty sure she'd complain if it's a Canadian Flag too... Canadians aren't the most patriotic bunch. Now americans.. well they have flags in their sandwiches!

Tell her it's a curtain? How can she complain about what type of curtains you have??
