A day off

So dear reader, it is Friday, which is our day off. Have to say it is a bit if a let down as there is nothing to do and nowhere to go!!!
Last night we walked round the corner to a charming international restaurant. When I say charming, obviously that means high fences, barbed wire and armed guards, but once inside there is a lovely courtyard with music, food and drink. We didn't eat but had a bottle of Corona and spent the evening chatting. I got to know my colleagues, one is ex-Eton and ex UK mlitary, whilst the other is ex-KLA (Kosovan Liberation Army). So here is my first handy tip for all those looking for a seaside retreat, buy a property on the coast in Albania, it is a beuatiful coastline and much cheaper than Crotia, Greece etc. You see poor Brit abroad, when denied the opportunity to talk about the weather (it is just hot every day) will fall back on our 2nd favourite topic, house prices. It was just like a dinner party in Surbiton, well, obviously exluding the aforementioned security.
This morning, I woke up at a leasurely pace and found we had no electricity or running water so that started the day well. It thwarted by desire for the proverbial shit, shower and shave or even a cup of tea. It turns out the power is often off during the day (but we are at work so it doesn't bother us) and the solution is to turn on the generator. It was 2 hours before anyone else got up and told me this!!!!!!
I have taken a photo of our street, so I wil read the instructions and try to post this on the next blog. As you all enjoy your wekend, think off me, we work Saturday and Sunday. Ha ha, done it, the piccie should be on this post!!
Be good.
