Home alone

Cher restesala maison

1. Well here I am home alone. The little family have gone off to the Sheraton Hotel to stay overnight so that Kaaren does not have to get up too early for the start of her course. Well at least I have the television for company. Somebody to listen to. Apparently the whole of the Telenor Board are over here at the moment, so it is important that she makes an appearance. It is quite remarkable how much work she does and has done since the little one was born. I suppose it's possible when there are others around to help.

2. The bike at least has had the tyres pumped so I shall cycle to the epicentre tomorrow morning to try out the olympic swimming pool. The first bit of real exercise since I arrived. I shall entertain myself in the usual fashion, swimming, reading sleeping with a bit of food thrown in. I have said I will get my own lunch. The maid can have some time for herself.

3. I would not even know where to go for a hand of bridge. Plus the fact that I did not bring Klinger with me. Liam has been promising to buy that book for the last couple of years.

4. I cannot quite make out what all the protests are about. It seems that the Thais agree to have a protest but once held have no plans for further action. According to Kaaren they need to be told what to do all the time. Not too happy to think for themselves.

5. We have a visit to the hospital on Wednesday so I shall see if there is an economist at one of the shops. I cannot quite make out how those who do not work get out of here. Kaaren says many of them are involved in charity work, but in my limited surroundings I have not seen any reference to it.

6. Had another outing today - feet and nails done and a visit to the supermarket. However, the little lad is endearing and I am called to wind and bath and walk the floor of course.

7. Reading 13 moons about the Cheroke Indians now. What they used to get up to in them there days. Should have brought another seminal book with me. A bit of education would not have gone amiss.

8. Glad to hear Amanda finally made the ride. Sounds as though the weather has been lovely.

9. Have you expressed my interest in the passion play yet. I noted the reference to possible female parts.

10. I have not yet had the enthusiasm to tackle the China project. The diary lies in the bedroom unopened. I feel as if I am standing in the wings all the time, waiting to be called.

11. By the way what was that 60 pounds in my bank account. I do not understand, please explain.

Well it must be time for another hour of the book, or should it be the television. Too early for bed and nowhere to wander outside.

Keep the news coming.
