Thursday: Bottles

The water isn’t really drinkable here so we go through quite a lot.  It’s ok for teeth-cleaning etc but, for anything else, bottled water is best.  And we all know it’s important to stay hydrated!

There was a bit of drama today.  I had to rush home mid-morning to break up an argument between the two housekeepers.   Tempers can be fiery in this part of the world and things had flared up.  If truth be told, we’d noticed frictions.  So I went over with their line manager, who is also my assistant, and together with K., imparted some firm messages about behaviours and standards, particularly in our home.  Ideally, we would have sat them both down but Dora, of the soup fame, had walked out.  I’m not sure we’ll be seeing her back here.

No shortage of excitement here……..
