My new neighbours aren't going to like me. I dealt with the door being mostly open until it hit 5 degrees outside and my third asthma attack (and a bit of a fever) and then I wrote them a note apologising for shutting the door and explaining that I was getting asthma attacks when the door was left open for more than a few minutes. I then closed the door. I signed the note, so they can tackle me if this causes a problem. It shouldn't. The moving van is almost empty and the backing and forthing finished an hour ago. They were just leaving the door open in case. Also, they could prop the door very slightly open for getting in and out - leaving it wide to the night air in winter isn't actually necessary now that the worst of the furniture is moved.
I bet they leave the door open again, though, for some people just cannot survive without doors left wide open. We'll see.
It must be tough on them, moving in during midwinter with so little daylight and so little warmth. That's why I only closed the door earlier when there was no van around and no-one moving things in and out: I was trying not to inconvenience anyone. I've dealt with it all day (and it was not a good day, breathing wise), but now it's night and my limits have been reached. Also, my heater's limits have been reached. It cannot keep a room warm when cold air is pouring in at such a rate. By 'at such a rate' I mean that the temperature outside has dropped a full degree while I have been typing this note. It will be zero degrees outside in an hour.
ETA: It's 6.30 pm, 2 degrees outside, my note has been taken from the door and the door is closed. Hopefully I'll get more work done this evening than I managed this afternoon!
