The hospital called at 0700 on Sunday morning to say that my cataract surgery had been delayed a week until next Sunday.  This after I called to confirm on Thursday and was told that everything was a go.  Typical Sri Lanka.

Forgot to mention that I am now an official member of Stitch and Bitch.  At least that is what I call it.  This is a group of no more than 8 women who get together every 2 weeks at one of their homes to have breakfast and do some craft that involves thread.  Most of them embroider.  I am crocheting as I am rubbish at embroidery.

As a follow up to funeral rites in Sri Lanka, I just saw this posted on Facebook from one of my Sri Lankan friends.  This is how they do it here.

Laid out at home.  I guess the coffin plays a part later.
