Generators, banks and other fun stuff

So we're back on the generator for electricity. City power has been out for three whole days now, with no end in sight :( Oh well. I've delegated the task of buying diesel this week for the generator to someone else, so hopefully that will work itself out! But that also explains why I haven't blogged much lately - between the limited electricity and the internet not working in our house... it's pretty hard to get my daily dose of internet surfing time. It's probably good for me, actually!

I also went to the bank today. I learned that when going to the bank here, make sure you bring your own pen, and your own folder to leave with the bankers so they can keep your papers all together. They don't provide photo copies, pens or file folders at the local bank, so you have to come armed with your own stationary shop.

And other fun stuff... hmmm... there's not so much fun going on lately! Poor little Zane has been stuck in the guesthouse all day. He's scared to go to our house because every time he gets near our house, Scamper comes and tries to pick a fight. Zane seems to be getting a little fatter, and he's always hungry, but we're trying to make sure he doesn't get too fat. So far, his only advantage over Scamper is the fact that he's lighter and quicker at running up the trees! But if Zane's belly keeps growing... well, I'm afraid he won't be so quick getting up the trees.

Anyways, it's getting close to the generator shut off hour, so I'd best get the guards their tea, get my kitty safely home and fed, and throw a few things in my bag for my trip tomorrow! I'm so excited to get to fly in a little plane tomorrow!
