Went over to a friend's place for the first time the other day to set things up for film club this coming Monday. In one of those small world stories, they are renting the house that is at the front of the flat I rented when I first came to Kandy. The house was under construction at that time. In the end, I walked 5km. up and down to their place in the scorching heat. My right foot has only just recovered from one of my metacarpal nerves being pinched from the impact on the blazing cement.
Patches is becoming more and more affectionate. I have removed the large mosquito net that covered my bedroom. It wasn't working for some reason and every morning I was waking up with blood all over my sheets where I had rolled over a mosquito that had just bitten me. My friends the Kawasakis recommended a liquid mosquito repellent that works like aromatherapy oil, being dispersed by heat. I got one of the little machines and haven't looked back. Hardly any mosquitoes now. Plus, Patches can come and snuggle with me on the bed. Here she is doing just that.
Her other thing is lying in the flower boxes. Here she is being a flower girl.
It is bread fruit season, called dell in Sinhala. Here is Veenitha helping me prepare dell cutlets.
Still no word on the visa front. Will start chasing it down next week.
