More excuses

I know I haven’t posted for ages, but I have had a dose of terminal bird flu, and have been dead for a while. Well, not exactly dead, more high as a bastard on the anti-cold medication I have been taking. Sort of a cross between heroin and Benylin. I thoroughly recommend the stuff. Have been swapping between night shifts and day shifts and both shifts, so a bit dazed and confused, just for a change. Have included a vid of how weird and noisy the yard is at night.

Came in this morning to the site office, just in time to see one of our guys leading the workers, who were arranged in rank and file, through calisthenics! I always thought that morning exercises were an urban myth, but I am obviously mistaken. I have a new car, but whilst picking people up this morning, we discovered that the passenger door handle fall off, and the back seat won’t stay up. But it is big enough to cope with the shitty roads here, rather than keep grounding itself like the last car did.

I have a new house as well, apparently, although I haven’t been inside it or held the keys or anything that normally indicates the handing over off cash for property. Want to get a look at it so I know what work has to be done on it. Probably won’t have any air conditioners and certainly won’t have hot water. I will stay in the little house for the time being until the new one is prepped and ready for habitation. May have to get an HD telly for the place, although may wait until next month, and put up with the projector.

 

Ooh, ooh, while I was in KFC a couple of days ago, watched an indo guy, who was obviously loving himself, don his dark reflective sunglasses driving gloves with a flourish, only to completely miss the top step and tumble like a fallen log down the whole flight of concrete stairs. It’s moments like that one that make life so much more bearable.

 

Incidentally, the second picture is of a wad of indocash. Just over one of those bundles has sorted out getting me the new BIG house, and the rest is for fitting it out. Can’t wait until the Jacuzzi arrives! 13mill for a corner Jacuzzi bath. Maybe I ought to concentrate on getting hot water first though. About the same cost to fit solar water heating, so may have to wait until next month for the bathtub!

 

Anyway, I will try and post more regularly, but very busy and may be starting yet another blog, so it is all a bit weeiirrr, a bit woooeerrrr, a bit waaaoooeeiiirrrr.

 

Peace out

The usual rubbish, just a little more often. Please feel free to dig through the archives. There's some odd stuff, some utter crap, and some stuff that even worries me. But life is far too short to worry about it. Enjoy.
