1. Still waiting to hear about the results of the scan. Tessa text me about an hour ago and said Mandi had spoken to the Doctor and would be getting in touch with me. So no further forward.
2. Tessa is hanging on in there, she is quite poorly and had a bad night with Mum. Luckily Longlands have agreed to take Mum for two weeks. All seems so uncertain as you can imagine with seeming little control.
3. Spent the morning trying to find various commodities. Not an easy task when one cannot understand the language. Chief cook is going to improvise tonight. I did manage to spot a bike shop as Karstein needed some lubrication for the chain. He went on a mountain bike ride the other day and came back with three punctures.
4. Kaaren gets up at 5.30 and has half an hour or so in her gym, before preparing herself for the working day. She works several hours in the evening too. Work is stressful as she is trying to get work out of the employees.
5. Schools are in short supply here so the children are split between morning and afternoon. One set go in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Apparently teachers and doctors do not get paid much here.
6. A commentary in the museum guide book by the chief curator made my eyebrows rise. He was scathing and almost damming of modern developers who paid no heed to preserving the antiquities in the country. An old Roman town nearby has had a railway station and a power station built over prime archeological sites.

1 Yes, managing at long distance brings a sense of diminished power. And yet the telephone connexion from South Grinstead may be as clear as that from East Grinstead. It is probably the absence of the option of meeting the protagonists which characterises the long distance.
1.1 Time perhsp for the men to take a hand. To take a lead.
2 The manager's days are long ones. I can imagine that local rules inhibit the dismissal of workers; more to the point, perhaps, the replacement workers will have had the same upbringing. If one has never word in a manner which the uitlanders call industrious, then how does one learn?
2.1 Now does the manager-from-faraway, who will be gone in a few years, work with or against the grain? Of course I beg the question of the existence (or usefulness) of a grain. If one exists, the the default mode is likely to be working with it; if the tree has to come down and one has the biggest of axes, with the strength to wield it, then it doesn't matter.
2.2 However, the question of the replacements remains.
3 Yes, I sense that a tenderness for things ancient is to be found in those with full bellies, those who already have a car which works.
