#692 Friday 7 September

The 'weather screen' that had been ordered for the living room was fitted yesterday .... It looks good and should stop the rain coming into the room during the wet season. This has been a problem as the rain blows in and puddles on the floor .... and then makes the wooden doors swell and become difficult to open.
.
Ketut is making good progress on the task of constructing our own demountable pool fence .... we will be able to erect the fence when guests need it .... and store it away when it's not needed.
.
8pm. Today the Team Kaylee divided to conquer! In the morning Naomi looked after Kaylia while AJ and Zoe were being Bali tourists .... and I did some 'power shopping' for business printing, banner and locating terrazzo repair materials. (In the past and over-enthusiastic cleaner has damaged the polished surface on the basin in one of the bathrooms .... It has proven hard to find out how to repair the damage.)
Then in the afternoon, A+Z took over Kaylee duties while Naomi and I went off for another bout of 'stuff-hunting'. We found a source of wall tiles .... went to Biaritz .... and gathered supplies for a 'villa gathering'! The owners of three villa are in residence this weekend .... and since tomorrow will be a local celebration day, we will have a BBQ together in Villa Hibiscus! Greg and Maxine have a barbie so we will all commune with the noble 'singed sausage' ....
.
About an hour ago the power failed .... not an unusual event .... and our generator burst into life! Woo hoo! It works!
.
Later .... Well it does work ..... but it wasn't a power failure. It was the old problem of a breaker tripping due to a fault somewhere in the house. We must somehow find the fault ....
