What a day! I'll begin where my day began and that is at around 5h00 this morning. Between the roosters calling out to the rising sun and a dog somewhere which kept barking and barking and barking and barking... (come to think of it, he was probably barking at the roosters to get them to shut up!) Alas, it did not work, the poor creature, and me, had to endure.
I wondered, half-sleepily, how come this morning was different than then other mornings since my arrival. I quickly realized that I had not turned on the air conditioning unit in my room (it was not terribly hot). Now I realize that it servers a double purpose...it is not only conditioning air, but it is also a white-noise generator. Got to remember to turn it on tonight!
The interesting item of note this morning, as me and my collegue Marou were shuttling our way to work, was a completely naked fellow walking on the sidewalk. Of bold steps, he marched, his equipment flapping in the wind. What I think bothered me the most was not the naked guy himself, but everybody else's lack of reaction.
I mentioned this at work and my collegues just said "Oh, yeah, the naked guy..." At this, Marou said "What?" She was looking elsewhere at the time and completely missed the scene. Ah well. ;-)
Oh, there goes the barking again! Maybe the dog is barking at the generator that is currently running to power this building. The building (and the neighbourhood) looses power several times a day. We do not notice any loss of power since the generator kicks in automatically, but when it runs, it is a constant drone.
Anyway, the day went fine, and before you know it, I was back "home" and writing this entry. I will have more later, but for now, I have a BBQ waiting for moi (Mike, the MP is a great BBQ cook).
;-) LIL
