Starving Saturday

We just realised that the gas bill was overdue at the apartment. That just demonstrates how underutilized the place was. So, no cooking then at the kitchen. The microwave and induction hobs were still working, so, hope was not completely lost.

Being Saturday, there was no chance of getting the service resumed. So, it looked like we would be without gas for the next few days. Sigh!

And as Anita and the boys had to wait for me to finish my clinic, all I us were starving come the afternoon. Surprisingly, the traffic into town was pretty light. We headed out to Pavilion, and ordered some tandoori. It had been a while since I had some. Let's hope that that did the job. We had to find some take-outs for tonight as well ....

The Mess Had Started

We hardly been to the apartment for a couple of hours, and the messing up had already started. Initially in their games room, but Idlan was afraid of staying alone. He therefore dustily brought the whole to the lounge, and it would be a headache getting it all tidied up later.

We decided to leave it be overnight. The maid would be coming to the apartment tomorrow - she was given a day off yesterday instead of on Sunday. She stayed with her sister in town overnight.

Leave the mess be I should say. And let plan on what to do on Saturday afternoon after I had done my clinic. Hopefully no rain ….. one can only wish. Happy Saturday all!

To the Apartment

It took us a while to get the packing done. And then, there was the small matter of dinner and groceries for the apartment. The baggage was still in the van, and it would take at least another half an hour of unpacking before we could settle down.

The boys took their time to finish their dinner, so we decided to split up. Anita went to sort the groceries out. By the time we were done, it was close to 10pm. Luckily our apartment was only 10 minutes away.

After a bit of heavy lifting, we unpacked and about to settle down. I need a shower .....

Write with Write

I have been looking for a reliable method of crafting blog entries on the Nexus device, but had so far been frustrated one way or the other. None of the available softwares have the slickness of Day One app on iOS with its seamless integration between the iPad, iPhone and the Mac desktop. Occasionally I do fancy updating from the Nexus.

So, I came across a new app called Write. Well, not exactly new, but something I just explored. It allowed for direct upload into the SquareSpace app. No more need for cut a paste. Hopefully the transfer and upload worked flawlessly. So, here we go .....

School Almost Out

Finally, the end-of-year exams for my boys were done with. They were now looking forward to the holiday break - it wouldn't start for another 2 weeks though. Yesterday was Idlan's final paper. There was a class party organised for this morning but from what you could see, getting them out of bed was a right challenge.

There is no school today, Idlan said. Do I have to go to school? Well, there would be no class. Just party and it should be fun. We would be spending the weekend - and the whole of next week - at the apartment. We had still yet to pack, and I would be back from work before I start packing my documents and gadgets. Not sure what time tonight before we would be settled in.

The boys were really looking forward to the stay. I was happy as well, although it would not effect my travel time as much as with the school holidays starting next week, expected the traffic would be light. But the short drive would always be a welcome. I would also be on call on this coming Sunday and Tuesday. Should be a busy week.
