Thank goodness we're moving. In the bedrooms and living room, there are several black dots on the exterior walls. It's like the walls are becoming polka-dotted with different size spots of what appears to be black mold. I wonder if the house is sick, as mentioned in Leviticus. The Biblical passage is at the end of this blog if you want to read it.
Buildings here are primarily constructed with brick and stone. A lot of older buildings have the electrical wiring and pipes for plumbing on the outside of the building scaling the walls -- it looks terrible. Most buildings are built without insulation.
In one apartment we considered renting, the architect/artist who seemed to be metro-sexual had knocked out a couple of small holes -- about 7-inches in diameter in the bedroom wall. His idea was to put glass in the holes creating a new dimension of light. Cool idea, but without glass, it was a wall with two holes leading to the outside. The artist was big on light and the correct use of space, and in a very small area he created a spacious feel. Regardless of the spacious feel, the apartment was too small; and besides it had two holes in the wall leading to the outside where cats could just come through whenever they wanted.

I made the mistake of feeding one of the feral cats that hangs out by our apartment. It was so sweet, so I gave it a little bite to eat. Now she expects to be fed three squares a day and meows at the door and the window to get inside. Her meow sounds like a cricket so we were calling her Cricket, but she's gotten so demanding we call her Monster. She's a black and white cat, her tail is black and her face looks like she has a black mask, and then she has dalmatian-like spots on the rest of her body.
We were considering taking the cat with us to our new place, but due to the feral and territorial nature of the cats, I'm not sure it would be a good idea. David assures me she will be fine when we leave, but the cat has been extremely spoiled for a whole month. One day two girls came by and claimed the cat as their own. Good, the kitty can become their monster.

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "When you come into the land of Canaan, which I give you for a possession, and I put a leprous disease in a house in the land of your possession, then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, 'There seems to be some sort of disease in my house.' Then the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest goes to examine the disease, lest all that is in the house be declared unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house. And he shall examine the disease; and if the disease is in the walls of the house with greenish or reddish spots, and if it appears to be deeper than the surface, then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days." (Leviticus 14:33-38 RSV)
