So much for studying passe simple.

There was a blackout a few days ago. I remember thinking how neat it was to go to bed, unwashed and tired, blow out the candle, and snuggle into a ball, shunning the cold. It's not cool to be cold anymore. My little heater (the central heating ie radiator doesn't work in the attic) started emitting a bizarre and rank odour yesterday, and I didn't want to set the carpet on fire, so I tried to sleep without it. At about one in the morning, I traipsed downstairs to sleep for about three hours on top of the innumerable stuffed animals crowding my old bunk bed.
