Cosima Underwater

Once upon a time a grown-up (definitely not a young innocent maiden) returned to the land of the seven dragons at the tip of China at the beautiful South China Sea ( although I would not swim in it).

She found a house she fell in love in on first sight. First sight involves feelings, gut feelings. It was surrounded by lush, green hills and had a beautiful view. A rental contract was signed despite a few shortcomings of the house.  Then, when the landlord was due to sign the contract, he claimed that he had received a better offer. Alarms bells rang inside cinderella’s head. She wondered if she should bite into the apple. She did, because the alternatives were not as nice. They didn’t have a garden, they didn’t have a view. Although she knew that the landlord was an evil knight, a contract was signed.

Today, cinderella had a third look. THE MASTER BATHROOM HAS NO DOOR. Honestly, I didn’t notice during the first two visits. Because in my mind it was not something I thought was important to pay attention to. I was counting on it. But today I had to pee urgently and when I wanted to close the door there was none. WTF?

It’s the only bathroom on that floor. It has a bathtub, it has a beautiful shower, two wash basins, and a loo. It does not have a door. Am I getting old? Am I too conservative?

I have invited my parents to visit. My Dad can’t walk a lot, so the bathroom on the floor where he sleeps should have a door. Although my Dad is pretty cool about such things, if need be he pees against a tree, my Mum on the other hand…

The neighbors seems nice, the view is stunning, it’s located a bit out of the way… over the seven hills… I hope no seven dwarfs will knock on my door asking to have a pee.
