Fact of the day

Did you know that you lose your sense of smell when you are asleep and most people die from smoke inhalation rather than actual burns. That's according to the fire dude who came to our work today to remind us of our fire procedures.  Hence the importance of smoke detectors in your house.  I now feel VERY reassured that we installed a couple in our place.

Our landlord adhered to Norwegian law by buying us a smoke detector and fire extinguisher and then putting them in the cupboard!

That's real helpful! THe detector between Ella's room and the study did go off one night while we were cooking bangers and mash. It took me some time silence it. Ella managed to sleep through it all! She must take after her father in the sleeping department...
