Brian left to go back to the States for Christmas today, so last night we went to Hayayay for some farewell beers and rhum. Wednesday night is the ever-popular ‘Reggae Night’. Last night the band played a set including Dusty Springfield, Save Ferris, Sting and the Police (“I’m a Jam-ai-can in New York….”) and the Sesame Street theme song. An interesting interpretation of the theme!
Today I had to move house again. It seems like a regular occupation of mine! I’ve been sulking about moving, because I loved the apartment I was in, and had just got to that familiar stage where you can walk around at night without needing to turn the lights on, and can place your hand on switches without fumbling about. Sigh.
After saying she needed to move today (instead of tomorrow, as was scheduled), Weird Korean Girl wasn’t even around to move her stuff. She expected our landlord and his helpers to move everything for her, the place was a mess and she hadn’t even made any attempt to pack things up! Grrrrrr. So after spending two hours helping to pack and move her stuff and clean the place, she now has my nice apartment, and I’m stuck with the new one. Which is still nice really, but not as nice as the old one. Sulk.
P.S. I’ve been reading Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days - It’s fab. You should read it.
