The Moist British Landscape

The UK is a moist place. More moist than most places we've lived (with the exception of Florida, I suppose), our moldy bedroom situation is just one piece of evidence in this regard. We've never had a moldy bedroom before. It's a little bit unnerving. I usually wake up with slight congestion which disappears pretty much immediately after my morning shower.

Kristen has yet another cold. Probably the 4th or 5th since we've been here. It's most likely a sinus infection actually. One of the main causes of this is poor air quality. We're 99% sure that this has to do with the bedroom. I suppose all of these old "listed" historical buildings have problems like this. It's not good. We need to get the hell out of here. Kristen is not going to have any sinuses left soon!

But is it the mold? Or is it something else? She works directly with the public when she's at the theatre. A lot of sick people coming through there. Not only that, half of her coworkers always seem to be sick. Are there just more sick people in the UK than other places we've lived? It wasn't like this in most of the other places we've lived. So what is it? Is it the moisture? It can't just be that. So what is it about this island that promotes sickness?
