Bleh bleh bleh
So who knows actually? No one - probably not even me! But if it allows me to live in this God's gift of a paradise, then, well, bring on another damn printer!
It's these small things that makes teaching in a growing school intertaining, frustrating and never ever boring! Its a bit like life I suppose; if you want the fun, you got to take the some of the shit aswell.
And I'm having fun. I think the worst part of this week is that all I want to do is get out of on the water test my sexy new flyrod. Goodness, why did she have to arrive on Monday. Typical girl - show you a littl eskin and then make you wait. Sweating it out from the sidelines hoping that your chance arrives sooner than later!
Oh well! Island life is, as always, a bit of an enigma! The locals, who love to be super chilled and relaxed when it suits them (Whenever there is ANY sort of work to done) will be the first to jump a queue, pull out in front of you or ignore you when asked for something! As long as they are happy, its all smiles. Its really not much different to Africa at all! Maybe just a little a safer. Last week I may have told a petrol attendent, in Afrikaans, that he was a doos! Oops!
Puff, my magic Hilux, is not purring but huffing at the moment. As soon as I take the foot off the pedal and she's in neutral, she splutters to a dead halt! You can imagine the entertainment that this has provided on an island where the roads are dead flat or as steep as South Col! But I have learned to slip her out of gear and brake with my left foot while keeping her revs up!
Fun and games!
Anyway, must get back to fixing this printer!
