Killing in the name of my own sanity. I think I've probably killed all the roaches now but Rentakill visited today, just to put my mind at rest.
Random photo of the tree in my lounge, rocking chair and skateboard. Went for my first skate around the streets of Colombo on Sunday and attracted a fair bit of attention. I don't think many people had seen a skateboard before. I gave a little kid a go and he took to it straight away. The only thing was, when I took it back he tried to wrestle it back off me and followed me down the road until I skated off as fast as I could. Won't be doing that again as it's too much of a pain. Skateboarding is addictive like that.
Crazy baby photo stuck to the inside of a tuc that made me laugh. Baby Budda
First trip out of the city and boy did it feel good. The pineapples were super sweet and the prices are in rupees, which are worth just over half a pence. Big pineapples for 25p anyone. Is it common knowledge that they grow on the end of a stalk? For some reason I thought they grew from trees like coconuts. If you enlarge the photo you can see they are upside down with the end of the stalk still attached. Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know that. Getting the rest of my house contents on Saturday and the maid comes round then to clean as well. I should be sitting pretty by next week. I'm off to sing carols tonight, yes you did hear that right. Fake snow and carols in the tropics, not exactly what I was expecting. Just got to avoid the booze as more than two pints is a killer for me in this heat.
