The moist quilt that had become almost a second skin to me over the past few days was hauled off, leaving me blinking and twitching in the sun like a grub on some freshly dug soil.

Couldn't help but think of a so called 'pissenbed' ( literally (to)pee bed ). Had to look it up, woodlice in English, it seems.

Hope the pee bed feels ( and smells ) a little fresher now.

I have to say that I am really enjoying my bath, in my new apartment. Hadn't lived in a place with a bath for years ( just showers ).
