Bathroom 2
The bathroom is vaguely finished, 4 days late (double the original estimate). At least one can now have a bath, although not a shower:
This is what I’m eating at the moment … Reheated curry, peas and bread:
There’s about another 3 days of work to go, if they pull their fingers out (ie. unlikely):
- finish off the grouting and miscellaneous work in the bathroom (½ day)
- put up a new ceiling in the kitchen and plaster the downstairs (1+ day, lots of disruption)
- some electrical work (½ day)
- new carpets everywhere (1 day, but not really disruptive)
The plan you see above is actually the very first time that anyone has written down a plan for the work.

Even a Brit gets angry at the British job? Sorry, Mate! (that’s what they normally say)
Or is it a Polish job?
It will look brilliantly once it’s done - あとちょっと、がんばって〜！

I think it is pretty good going that they have done so much by this time, i thought
it would take a month to repair all at English builders pace, Cyprus is worse they
have to take little siestas in the afternoon.

The curry tasted better than it looked.
The builders worked late on Monday night so I had to cook for them …

What is that brown thing in the curry…? Another insect in your garden?
Sure it’t better than M’s cat food ;p
がんばって～

They are ladies fingers (honest).
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:51 am
Yes, M is right. Those are okra also known as “ladies fingers”. This was a bhindi curry.
July 3rd, 2008 at 11:51 am
Oh yes, it is always on Indian curry restaurant menu, I remember that!
My finger isn’t that big, tho.
Talking about curry, today I bunk off the hospital as it’s a fine day and thought it’s ridiculous to be trapped inside all day. Walking around the neighbourhood in pajama & slippers, I found a “soup curry” shop, which is origianlly Hokkaido delicacy. Ahhh-たべたい！

Are you allowed out?
Shame you don’t have a camera, you could take some pics
I am sure if you were wearing hospital gown, slippers and with wrist tag walking
around the streets, people would take YOUR pic :-p

If only I get a permission, yes, I am allowed but the thing is I just did it without getting it.
I said “pajama” not hospital gown (which is better than your micky moose one!) and no posibility of getting handcuffs because I still have a job and never smoke wacky weed ;p
oops, this is richard’s blog. Anything about cooking??

Hash brownies are nice, very popular with students and the unemployed.
July 5th, 2008 at 3:03 am

Herbs are better than weed, good luck!

Neko: I have a new word: TAIMA.

Cool, Macca was sent to Tokyo Sugamo prison for bloody 9 days in Jan. 1980 as he turned up Narita with TAIMA （大麻） in his suitcase!
And never allowed to entre Japan for a decade since!!
July 6th, 2008 at 10:22 am
It’s a shame because Japan would be great if they legalized TAIMA …
Is this a TAIMA cookie?
