The easy life

What a day. I had left my VAT to do to the very last minute. not deliberately but partly as a result of the travelling I have been doing and then the things to do to settle in here. I should have known better. I thought I would have a quiet day. Well first after breakfast at the local resort Dosa and Channa Masala we went to get my bike.. and the disc brakes locked on practically on the way home so getting home was like the toughst session at the gym you could imagine.. The amazing thing is that here although there are problems everything gets sorted so quickly .. one of the men from the bike shop came to the house and fixed it.. just as a guy from the stationery shop came and delivered some ink cartridges .. when we discovered that the ink had dried up in the printer over the time we were away .. of course!! Then the electrician came round to fix the fan... then the cleaning lady came round... so all good interruptions but not from the point of doing my VAT! And then every time I went to submit the form the computer disconnected or the page went down!!! Aaaargh . so eventually when it worked .. we went down to the cafe on the beach ... ahhhh a few moments.. well about 2 hours by the Arabian Sea and everything else pales into insignificance...
