Sylvia, my maid appears to have run away. She told me before Christmas that her husband had died the previous year and his family had requested she return to his village as they were preparing something for his grave. She told me she would contact me when she was going to return but alas no word from her as yet. So back to the old regime one practices in richer countries of DIY. I have another guest arriving whilst I am away so I must get the place clean and tidy before I depart Sunday. However, I do have a plan to partly solve this issue when I get back.
Update on passport : from the PO website, the track & trace system indicates it arrived at the PO Sea Point depot Friday night and I expected it to be delivered yesterday. So if it is not delivered today, another trip ( with silly hat ) to post office.
For those who can remember the "Dell experience" ( as described near the beginning of this blog ) the numeric keypad on my laptop is playing up and getting help from Dell is turning out to be as difficult as earlier efforts.
My Queensland driver's licence expires March so I am about to commence the journey on getting this renewed from afar. First step will be finding a police officer to witness signatures.
I am about half way through my 6 month stint here in Cape Town and have decided to skip the UK when I leave in April and go straight through to Trieste in Italy and then on to warmer climes.
