Sadly this meant that I missed my planned trip to Karakatau. This volcano is famous for one of the most violent eruptions the world has ever seen (in 1883). Not entirely missing the irony, I opted for a weekend of recuperation and took the opportunity to make some long awaited improvements to my apartment.
In fact the last week has seen a number of small victories on the domestic front:
- Hot Water: I now have a heater installed. This plucky number can reach heat setting "2" before fusing the electrics, and contributes to a noticeable reduction in water chill.
- Bedside Table: Snapped up for a mere 85,000 at the local hypermart, it offers shelves on three levels and boasts a pleasant pastel blue colouring.
- Letterbox Key: A month down the line I can now open my letterbox. It was empty.
Everyday is a small step. But thankfully I am now healthy, rested and cheerful.
Oh NO, has nobody sent you a letter!? At least there were no bills in the letter box.

Now then Cheets, I cannot believe that your stomach was not prepared well by our years of cheetpasta / blimeypie and the, ahem, occasional dominos pizza.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear all well (volcanic eruptions aside). Just come back from Hong Kong and Singapore with work which was fun but hectic. Back in Singapore in mid november so maybe we can attempt some elaborate plan to meet up??
BLimey!
What is your address there - we could all send you something to let the postman know you are truly loved and popular !
