that�s the kitchen way over there. It also opens onto the servant�s wing and patio, so the feeling of the place really is like luxurious camping�

which means it�s a good thing I�ve gotten over the creature-issue.

Since fumigating the place, the cockroaches haven�t reappeared for 5 days, except to roll over and die.

But I have seen significantly-sized centipedes, 1 small brunette rodent (in and out of the house), and several flies, all of whom feel as free and at home here as I do. It�s kinda cute.

Except for the flies.
