Power Cut Day
The alarm was set on seven this morning but snoozed 45 minutes for no good reason. I just told the dutch people yesterday to go for the Srilankan breakfast because its so much better than the toast bread and jam you get if you order the European style. Since Im on a budget deal with Runi, which means that they choose the breakfast for me and of course I got toasted bread and jam this morning. And of course I eat it all. Somewhere here I realized that there were no electricity, so no fan.
Then I got picked up by Seelan and his 3 wheeler and went of to the visits of the day. At around one I came back and looked forward to spend an hour in the confy chair under the speedy fan, but no electricity so no breeze. And since they pump up the water in the tank and it’s a electronic thingy, there were no water in the taps. So was not very rested when we went for out afternoon visit. Came back at five and still no electricity and no water… The reason for the power cut was a tree that had fallen down but just before dawn the electricity came back – praise the Lord!
Very tired today, my brain is overused I think ;-). So need to spend time in the confy chair just drinking water and doing nothing in the evening. But the truck drivers came, so then the peaceful times are over because they sit down at a table and talk very loudly on the phone and drink arrack…
So I enjoyed my bed side lamp and read a bit. For dinner I joined the dutch couple and tried not to talk all the time and actually asked them to share something about themselves with me but soon found myself doing most of the talking again… What to do?
Tomorrow I will go to the beach and try to find the beach hindu temple.
