Mon 13 December 2004 - The bathtub of mystery

Here’s a poser for you: mysterious specks of something are appearing in the bathroom. They fall from somewhere above the bath, into the bath, around the side of the bath, and onto the window ledge up above the bath. I don’t know what they are. I don’t know where they come from. There is no obvious source for them. There’s been a few of these things in the past, but in the last week or two there’s been heaps.

Here’s what they look like in and around the bath:

And here’s a close-up taken on the window ledge:

Sometimes the window is open, sometimes it’s shut. They arrive anyway. In fact I’ve found some of them on the top of the window ledge. Above which, there is only the ceiling.

One more clue: one day last week a worm had also fallen from an unknown location into the bath.

I’m guessing something, somewhere, is getting inadequately cleaned… but what? Any ideas, anybody?
