Stranger in a strange land

Nov 8-9

The (India) machine works?

TV broken just went dead - repairman called round (screwdriver in hand) looked at it scratched his head switched the 'on' button - still dead unplug plug switch scratch head depart stage left hilarious.........Basic synopsis: The TV broke because we used it.....?......!

Toilet broke just stopped flushing for a while then surprisingly started again - plumber turned up after it was working again (i'd flushed it) scratched his head flushed the handle and said it was working.....?.....! apparently we shouldnt be flushing paper.....nice to have known (we've only been out here 6 weeks) Basic synopsis: The Toilet broke because I used it......?.....!

Bed Bug genocide - The wee smell was in the mattress guard, and had transfered its pungency to the pillows and sheets...and me! - eau d'peepee the new fragrance for MEN!. Bed bug's last guard wiped out by vicious cleaner with vacuum - bite's stopped and healing. The smell was caused by my body-heat and the current damp climate. Basic synopsis: The bed smelt because i used it.....?......!

The cook that cant? (juries out!) - 6 days straight served 'aloo dish led me to regret my comment that 'I like spicy potato (errive aloo)' - we have been treated to mash aloo curry; aloo gobi; aloo korma (mash & boiled); bombay aloo and lastly 'not f'n aloo again!' - all served with rice. Basic synopsis: My mouth....I shouldn't use it!

Blame it on the weatherman? - well, no actually because he said it would rain all week....and it has! - apparently the rain should ease up around the middle of the month and then it is the best time of year to be in Kerala.....we'll see!
