Fire alarm keeps going off periodically. First time Kiki was amused. Did you come down because you were afraid? Second time we are more skeptical, but head for the stairwell. Met in corridor by Maria and Venera, the maids, going about their business. Oh no, no. Big smiles. But "they" are not quick about turning it off. Nobody knows how? Defective and as glitchy about being turned off as about coming on? Everyone else completely sanguine about carrying on with piercing noise as background? I take to responding to each alarm by going out on the balcony. If there are no people running about outside in panic I take it that reception is unconcerned. Longest alarm I time is nine minutes.
