And there's a terrorist alert for Israelis in Thailand. Paradise lost. http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=253525 Looks like nowhere is safe. Nothing but bad news this weekend.
The weather was equally bad this morning but now at noon the clouds have cleared and the sun is up. It's still cold though. The weather forecaster actually said "It's bloody cold!!" I thought it was very funny!
And the library elevator broke down this morning. The rains must have short-circuited the system. Thank goodness I got out in time when the alarm rang. Called the elevator company for repairs and he said he can come only at 10am. Imagine if I were inside the elevator!!!!! I'd be stuck in there from 7.30am to 10am because the repairman "cannot come now" .... and of course they'll never come at 10am ... it's arab time. It simply means next week. So if I were stuck in there, they'd find a cadaver in the lift next week. Well if it's any good news, the lift serves as the best bunker in case of a missile attack. Anyway managed to transport the last batch of periodicals from the 3rd floor down to the ground foor by foot. Took almost 15 trips. Exhausted now.
Home-made marmalade for sale. Alberto is great at this. Having received tonnes of oranges and grapefruit from a nearby orchard, and not knowing what to do with them before they rot ... Alberto decided to make marmalade and candied orange strips to raise funds for children's activities in the parish. Smart idea. And it sold very very well. Yesterday when I came over to visit his community, there was the last batch ready for sale. I quickly got 2 ... one I gave to Osvalda our librarian and the other which has much less sugar for myself. Nice.
