My mum has just had new windows put into the house and the amount of light now coming in is startling, it’s as if the house is being illuminated by hundreds of led gu10 bulbs!
It’s very easy to live in darkness once you become used to it, indeed it is comforting. When I was at university, the flat I lived in had massive shutters that could be pulled across the windows, barring even a shard of sunlight from making its way in. It’s a dangerous lifestyle however, as the temporal distinctions between day and night become increasingly blurred as the shutters increasingly remain closed. Also, it is very difficult to see if there is dust all over the place – something I realized a bit late after a rather gnarly chest infection set in on once of my housemates.
So, a former shadow-hugger, I am not revelling in the amount of sunlight my mother’s house is being flooded with. Not a speck of dust goes unnoticed, leaving chest infection causing bugs seriously unemployed. I recommend it to anyone reading, get new windows! Or at least, open those shutters.
