That tummy bug has really got to me, I have spent the better part of the weekend rushing to and from the poo pile.  I have even thought of transferring my living room to that side of the ledge. What a bore, I feel weak and breakfast on Saturday was a speedy affair as I had to rush back to the loo.

The weather has improved and I don't have to squeeze myself into the corner to avoid the day's heat anymore.  Hopefully my tum will improve and I'll be able to go out more.

I saw two of the three stooges (N and R) in the school yard on thursday afternoon. What a hoot that was, they were cycling round and round the yard and one of them was obviously a learner as her bike frequently went into uncontrollable wobbles. N cycled around giggling hysterically and snapping shots of R. They were joined by someone else, yellow haired and pink complexioned, later on, and there seemed to be some sort of an altercation as I was shocked out of my daydreaming by a huge, bellowing blast of expletives, emanating from the person of the  pink, yellow haired bike rider, who then proceeded to march out of the yard.  She must have been pinched by her bicycle, I can't think of any other reason for such an outburst. I don't understand humans.

 

Sunday Morning 19 September

 

The Government schools and the Nun's school next door are supposed to start today but nothing happened, the traffic was the same as ever.  I wonder if the Nun's school has closed or moved for good.  That would be good because the people who go there really are the most chaotic and primitive creatures ever; even if there are only five cars in front of the school they manage to create a traffic snarl. Such rabble. I am glad to say that the Iranian School seems to have moved out of the area, improving the quality of the block drastically.

I didn't go out much today, still feeling decidedly weak.
