DAY 178 (Saturday 14 January 2012)

As I was on duty this weekend I didn’t relish the idea to have to go far, so we were going to go to THAMEL to get some more DVDs before the box set we are watching runs out, but fortunately it will last us another week, so I stayed local to home, just doing the shopping and some baking, but whilst I was out at BHAT BHATENI’s doing the shopping I had a call on the duty phone, all it was for was permission to use the duty vehicle to take someone to hospital, so I gave permission. 

It was my turn for making tea today and I had decided on making a minestrone soup, a recipe that I got from the community page of Weight Watchers.  As I was preparing tea, I got another call on the duty phone, this time it was from the Doctor asking if I could call out the duty engineer to come and look at his generator as it was playing up, what you have to realise is that out here we rely on generators because the electricity mainframe isn’t able to always cope with the demands of the people.  Anyway, I gave him the number so that he could call the duty engineer himself as he would have a better chance of explaining what was going on with the generator.

After that I had a quiet evening and glad to say that the phone didn’t go off again.
