I didn’t sleep too well last night, had a bit of a nightmare but for some reason I was talking to Donald Trump and someone else and the last thing I said before I woke up was “Fuck off” to Donald Trump. We were in some high rise because I could see the city below through the windows and the other thing I remember was that his face was very flaky as if his skin was peeling, all in all very strange indeed.
The sun was rising and it was to be another sunny day, the third in a row. Crisp clear skies at night and clear blue skies during the day. Mind you three days ago we had some snow which made the temperature drop suddenly and with it came the wind to make it worse, but today was positively tropical in comparison.
I fired up the washing machine much to the disgust of Sissi’s mother; the look said it all as I stepped out of the laundry, if looks could kill. It totally threw her she did not really know what to do and to make matters worse for her I commandeered it for most of the day but she still had to try and rearrange a few things which I quickly put back, so that cheered me up.
The next thing that cheered me up was that I could finally get access to the outside world once more, my VPN was up and running. I updated all my software on the phone and download a few podcasts and scanned all my apps for news and gossip to see what was going on, not much happening, same shit different day. But I had the choice to go where I wanted which is all important.
I headed to the park for an hour for my morning routine and then came back for a shower and sat outside in the winter sun reading my book. Henning Mankell’s Inspector Wallander, I’m on the fourth book of the four I bought and I will finish it tomorrow but I am really enjoying his style of writing and will try to get more of his books once I leave China. I’m so glad I bought these when I was in Thailand.
So today felt good and a big improvement on the last few days and of course a few days closer to my flight all going well.
PS just as I was uploading this the gates shut on the firewall once more, I guess someone maybe left it open by mistake this morning…….or maybe the bandwidth is just so bad in the evening that everything comes to a halt, either way I’m looking forward to leaving here soon and not having this problem.
