hotel room controller

i stayed in a hotel last week which had this funky controller for everything in the room.  well some things.

me in the past would have loved to have imagined i’d be staying in a hotel controlled by dials and buttons.  i made full use of them you’ll be pleased to know.

lift troubles

i got stuck in this lift.  twice.  the first one was only a temporary situation.  the second time took longer but i was with a lift engineer. 

i managed to release us but not before he’d scared me to death by jumping heavily up and down to try to jerk the lift in to motion.
