Up at 7 for breakfast in the villa. Then hit the books .... updating the villa and personal accounts. Paying villa bills. I found that my neat way of moving money from Oz to Bali has a glitch .... it uses an SMS authorising code .... and they send the SMS to the Australian format phone number! This doesn't work when you're overseas. It's a problem .... hopefully the bank will fix it in future.
I've been up on the roof this morning to check the waterproofing. The material used for the first time (by a contractor) was very sub-standard and it has deteriorated in the sun. Most of it needs to be removed and then re-coated. This is one of the reasons why we continue to have leaks into the rooms.
The waterproofing material we have used since seems to be lasting well. I can see that we will need to keep a log of when waterproofing is done. What a crazy system! The Australian colorbond roof is much more weatherproof and would be far better in Bali. One day (in the distant future!) I will investigate having the villa re-roofed to see if it is feasible.
Jalan ... jalan. To the butchers to buy steak for Naomi!
