Chain mail

'elloes!

This week, Ze Husband and I are lurking in the Netherlands. We are not on holiday, no no no. He is working (training week) and I am, well, sort of working, except I'm waiting for author comments on six chapters which are supposed to be finalised by 5.30 UK time tonight and I can't do anything until they arrive. Hmmmmm.

Now. This being a work-thing, we are in a nice hotel, with a swimming pool and suchlike. Last time we were here, it was for two weeks and we were in a long-stay room, with a sitting room area and a KITCHEN (yes, a kitchen!) and working internet.

This time, we are in a normal room on the ninth floor. The room is very nice and everything, but the internets don't seem to want to work (maybe they're afraid of heights) so I'm having to use one of the hotel computers. All well and good, except for the QWERTY keyboard and the fact it won't let me look up mass times for Holy Week because it has a block on all websites linked to religion. NO KIDDING.

The other problem? The room was recently redone and it's all design-y and pretty but not massively practical. The bathroom walls are GLASS. See the problem here?

They seem to have realised that the glass bathroom might be a bit disconcerting to some, so they put up a sort of curtain accross one of the walls, which doesn't help much with the privacy thing, but certainly adds comedy value.

The curtain is CHAIN MAIL, people. The BATHROOM is wearing CHAIN MAIL.

Hmmm. Maybe my cupboard would look better with armour?
