..... and bought curtains with holes.
The material's not very thick either, so for the past couple of days sunlight has been getting into my room and has been waking me up by burning my face with the intensity of the light wtf.
Hence out of desperation I've hung my clothes on the window grills to block out the sunlight.
It looks messy, but at least the clothes are more effective curtains than the pieces of cloth with holes in it hurhur.
