Horrible Airbnb experience - Part 2

In part 1, B. was introduced as a gentle soul which appeared in our life. We decided to leave him our home whilst we went away. This is what happened when we came back.

We had a fabulous trip.
We were refreshed and happy.
It was time to come back though and we were eager to come back to tell our family and friends how it all went.
We arrive at the house on a Sunday evening. No lights in the house. We thought it was empty.
As we entered in, a swamped smell entered our nostrils. It was stinking beer being washed up all over our walls and carpets. They are bags of waste covering the floor in the kitchen, bottles of alcohols, dirty plates with eaten chicken wings.
We entered the living room, the same mess in front of our eyes.
The curtained are closed. It is dark.

On my beautiful cream white sofa, a man with a hoody on.

M: ''B. Are you Ok, mate?''
B.: ''Oh I am sorry, man... I'll get it sorted.''

B. is drunk. He is unrecognisable. We are shocked and tired. We cannot argue.

M: ''B. We are going to go. Can you sort the house, please? We will come back later.''
B.: ''Thank you M., I am Sorry. I will''

We spend the evening with our family and hush the experience.

We come to the house, everything has been put in the bin.
He is in the bedroom probably sleeping ashamed by the situation.

As we walk around the house, we realise that the TV is broken, the sofa is stained, the carpet has been washed up with beers. It does not only smell beer in this house but also dead birds and bones.

We take a shower and go to sleep.

Tomorrow will be another day.

Cluttered House - What are you choosing to ignore?

Your house is currently cluttered and messy. From your perspective, clearing it out is far from being your current priority as it stands, you are too busy taking over the world. Yet, the people around you are starting to feel the brunt of your lack of presence in space and time. You do not even notice the mess around you because you only think about what needs to get done in other aspects of your life.

Slow Repair

Can the slow movement happens in manufacturing? Could it be the answer for supporting repair? I am wondering as I discuss with my colleagues 'SLOW' The slow movement advocates a cultural shift toward slowing down life's pace. You have probably heard of the slow food movement, slow fashion, slow design etc. It asked us to slow down and stop trying to reach the speed of light. As consumers struggle to repair ever changing small electrical products, may be it is time for manufacturers to slow down at least at the same rate or a bit faster than human development. The role of technology can aid to make human capabilities leap forward, yet become counterproductive when it loses behind the many people who are unable to learn to fix and manage their environment. So what is it to reckon? Is the Slow Good Movement possible?

Refused to jump on the horseback

I spent the weekend with a good friend of mine. She introduced me to her community of church goers. I was impressed by how committed and big this community is. They try to lift each other through the spoken words of the bible. As I entered the community, I created curiosity, interest as much as opportunity. Questions followed: ''Are you going to Church'' Which church are you going to'' ''Are you a Christian'' Do you believe in God''  Then I answered it: No, No, No, Yes They reacted - looking down, disappointed, sad of my misfortune: ''if you don't follow jump in, you will probably go to hell when you die''. I thought: I don't know the horse, neither who tamed it. I ain't jumping on his back... hell and heaven can be created on earth... for what happen after death I am not sure.
