Yeah, that's what I figured, really

desperanceThey are building me an ugly MDF box around my door, to replace the lovely original framework they ripped out in the process of installing it. Hey-ho.
Oh, and while I'm grumbling (let me be clear, there are many fine things about this door, among which security and insulation rank highly; also, it is black; but just at the moment I do seem to be grumbling, so...), did I mention the letter-flap? It is in many ways a fine letter-flap: it has flaps both inside and out, and draught-resistant brushes within; but it is tiny. Also, hard to push post through, on account of all those flaps and brushes; everything comes through creased, that comes through at all. No book will ever pass its brushy lips. When I moved in here, I fitted an enormous letter-flap, specifically to allow books, to save that mad scramble out of bed and into bathrobe when the postman knocked; hereinafter, the poor man will be treated to all the unpleasantness of a bed-sour Chaz on a regular basis, I foresee.
Which will be another reason to find a knocker that will actually wake me with its summons. I think it'll need to be long and thin, rather than the great hefty ring of my desires, if it is to fit between the faux panelling. A chili pepper would have been perfect...
