Local residents BBQ success

Over 70 people gathered today at our house for a bbq in the 26 degree sun. The annual residents barbeque was a glorious success.

As people arrived, I greeted them and gave them a name tag, quietly introducing myself as the butler, but that I shouldn't really tell them that as the Lord and Lady of the house don't like to brag. I ended up wearing an apron and doing a few dishes, which was noted by a few of the older ladies. I quipped that I was having to do all the work since the other two staff left but was enjoying it all the same. I got some serious interest in my services. If I was staying for any length of time, I think I would have scored myself a butlering role.

I am still waiting for World Vision to suggest a route home. If they can't do something this week, then I think I will head for Singapore or Thailand.


I have applied for a few full time jobs in the UK, since my work ethic has been healed by some real work these last few months.

Got to go. The cats need feeding and the hankies need ironing.
