May 20
Another lovely recent development to add to our repertoire of apartment experiences. Late last night while I was at my computer, I heard this scraping noise coming from the wall. It was slight at that point and I ushered Adam over who also heard the noise. Pretty soon the noise became lounder, to the point that I thought there was a person behind it (the house we live is being renovated by its new owner and has been under construction for two months now) but when Adam popped his head in the house and asked if anyone was there, no one responded. The noise persisted throughout the night and we had no idea if it was a rat, mouse, squirrel, racoon, or something else. And when I told our landlord about it he had the audacity to condescend me--"Aw, are you worried it would come out of the wall and eat your arm?" He agreed to put glue traps down but I'm not sure what good it will do--we're still hearing the noise again tonight.
Anyhow, here's an interesting article on one of the many obelisks that are peppered throughout Rome.
