I hate wearing masks as I am sure everybody else, but the rules are rules and the science backs it up so I do as I am told, rare for me. I don't know how many people I have seen wearing a mask, either round the chin or covering the mouth and not the nose. What good is that? Even in the hospital the other day one of the patients was wearing a mask over his mouth only and none of the staff told him to wear it properly.
I, like many others, have a problem with steaming up glasses, so much so that when I went to see about my cataracts I quite expected the ophthalmologist to say I don't have them at all, just too much steam.
My sister, who is deaf, has a special gizmo under her pillow which flashes if the smoke alarm goes off. The other night it was flashing non-stop, even though there was no fire in her apartment. In desperation she called the fire department and asked them what she could do to turn it off. Within minutes a fire engine arrived with six firemen wearing masks, gloves and fully protective clothing. The apartment is very small so six firemen inside meant my sister had to retreat outside. After a while a fireman came out holding the smoke alarm. It had fallen off the ceiling and was on the floor apparently but my sister hadn't noticed. They replaced the smoke alarm, checked the flashing light had stopped and went on their way. 'I still don't know why the light was flashing all night,' my sister told me on the phone. Oh really?
