Yes, it was a rustic Holiday.
All my medical accessories including tables and ECG charts were gathering dust.
(No medical practice for 25 years).
I used isopropyl alcohol to take the nasty fungus away.
Even tiny plastic bottle of isopropyl alcohol is over Rs.150/=.
Drinking alcohol has gone off the roof!
Ranil has no sense and sensibility, the string hoppers' treat (I had only once) which was 5 Ruppes a piece then and sufficient for a evening meal for 3 of of us (with lovely kiri hodi) for 100 Ruppes has gone up to Rs.30/= piece and (one can buy only three for 100) one has to pay separately for diluted kiri hodi.
He should be ousted by first choise.
He is either demented or gone bonkers by the high post he obtained by deceit.
I blame the Tamil and Muslims politicians for this tragedy (or comedy of errors) who supported him and elevated him to go bonkers by default.
Besides politics, I wake up with the birds singing and my garden is a paradise for all birds and in our absense of 6 months they were breeding (finer details in my book of birds) with glory.
Even the timid greater cockerel is visiting my fish tank to eat tiny snails ("big ones" their delicacy is gone extinct).
The global warming is taking its effect.
Temperature is over 90 degrees day time and goes down to 72 by 4AM which my favorite ambient temperature and I wash my underwear gone soke by the sweat.
I become dehydrated and eat raw salt to replenish lost salt. (Lime and lemon are cheap but I avoid them to protect my teeth).
I had one lime juice at Devon's and may be another today.
The washed cloths are dry by mid day.
I use soap and water to clean my underwear and no industrial detergent for 2 months and ants the black ones my favorite are (the orange ones have invaded my rooftop garden due probably to global warming) increasing in numbers but slowly.
My gut feeling is the black ones have changed colour to orange to dispel heat (this is a new theory of mine) and sun rays.
I am glad I leaving before auspicious New Year with the mighty Sun rising over my head and cracking it open (no grey matter left) for Pubic or Public View.
Only blessing is all my orchids are flouring including the palm flowers which is an ominous sign of death (in our absense) due to dry heat
I have one piece or sapling of Wesak Orchid and it did not bloom for 40 years.
I had a fish Kottu at Rs.900/= as my last full meal with excess of chillies, I had many runs to the bathroom which I had lost count.
A good cuppa at Mesna Tea Center Kandy with lot of sugars which cured my Chillies Malady briskly.
No more Kottu for a long time.
This was my promise to my son.
I told him I will have One Kottu on his behalf which cannot be accommodated in my luggage to Australia.
