No blogging for the last couple of days. Power cuts, and a trip to Cane Town to get my veranda furniture have prevented me, but back now.
Power was out for 6 hours yesterday and then gasped on and off after that. They turned off the turbine and all of the Kandy area was out. God only knows why you would turn off the turbine. Finally got in touch with someone at the Ceylon Electricity Board who could actually give me an answer. I called 6 different offices from the Deputy General Manager on down. No-one was in or available. I don't think these guys ever work, except for the women who answer the phones and have to deal with the likes of me. In the end, I spoke with the Chief Engineer for the Commercial Division. He actually got back to me with some answers. Thank you. I have kept his number, needless to say.
Very heavy rains yesterday did not help matters either. Plus the roof is still leaking. Can't do anything until things dry out a bit.
Continuing on with the house tour. This is my office and the downstairs bathroom.

| Location and computer, 27" iMac that I love, from which I blog. |

| Day bed for afternoon naps or extra guests. |
 |
| Need a proper office chair, but printer is close at hand. |
 |
| Weird little alcove for suitcases and file storage. |
 |
| Unusual shower enclosure in this bathroom. Don't know why they have it in this one. |
 |
| All the amenities. |
Getting ready to go to Colombo next week to get my Canadian passport renewed and a new citizenship certificate. Getting all the documents and photos together today.
