Nothing better than waking up to the smell of smoke, only to find out it's actually just the otways fire and your flat isn't sealed at all against particulates from outside.

Samsies. Except my realisation was that I had left a window cracked for cool air. Now all closed and Air purifier is going OFF.

Edit: as in going sick not being turned off
