Still Alive

Sorry about not blogging for a while.

We lost power to the villa here in sunny Libya a couple of days ago. No-one (apart from me) appears to be too keen to get the lights back on. "Maybe tomorrow. Inshallah", I am told by frustratingly cheerful people.

No power = no internet. No internet = creeping madness.

I have found a 17th Century solution though. Candles!

I just wish I had 17th Century eyeballs to go with them. I am  a 60w candescent man. I know that now.

Normality will, I am almost certain, resume soon.

Inshallah.

CR.

  5. Cato,

    It isn't MY villa. I just use it while I am here. It sounds grand but it is just an office with a couple of bedrooms.

    I wouldn't buy it anyway. Fucking power keeps going off.....

  6. James,

    I wish. I am more free here than in yUK.

    Mind you, Cleggy seems to think we are going to "Tear down these Bills...." so things are looking up!

    I was supposed to fly back tomorrow but things are progressing nicely with the Gubmint here so I extended my visit.

    PS-I am playing some one-on-one basketball with Al Megrahi tomorrow. The bugger is as fit as a flea.

  7. Indy,

    I have to keep sending my laptop around the corner to get it charged up. I cadged an internet dongle from my mate Ahmed.

    I am visiting all the freaky porn sites (you know, men on women, that sort of thing) so the Secret Police will kick his ass, not mine.

    I am typing this by candle-light. It is harder than you would think.

    CR.
