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.

Cato,
ReplyDeleteIt 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.....
CR.
James,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
CR.
PS-I am playing some one-on-one basketball with Al Megrahi tomorrow. The bugger is as fit as a flea.
Indy,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Hahahahahaaaaa poor old Ahmed!!
ReplyDeleteStay safe mate!
