We have a fence all around our house and yard. Entry is through a gate. Which we keep chained with a hefty padlock.
This morning husband and I tried to leave for our walk along the river - only to find the keys would no longer open the padlock.
One hour later, with the aid of wonderful neighbours from every side, and the loan of hacksaw and muscles, we were finally released, too late for the walk.
Tried to pick up my air ticket to Australia. Couldn't find parking. Gave up. When I came home from a bookgroup meeting (Animal's People was up for discussion), there was no power. Which is no joke in the tropics. It finally came on, and immediately set off the burglar alarm. Great.
Then tonight the power went off again...
And I discovered the disadvantage of broadband (external modem won't work without power) and a free standing monitor (won't work either). Sigh.
About Me
- Glenda Larke
- Malaysia
- My life has been described by one of my editors as “impossibly exotic” – although really it is not my life, but me, that’s the exotic. I’m the uprooted plant, the exotic who doesn’t belong, always living in someone else’s backyard...
An Australian living in Malaysia. Writer, traveler, environmentalist. Author of The Isles of Glory trilogy (The Aware, Gilfeather, The Tainted); The Mirage Makers trilogy (Heart of the Mirage, The Shadow of Tyr, Song of the Shiver Barrens) and, writing as Glenda Noramly, a stand-alone book Havenstar. The latest trilogy is called The Watergivers in Australia and the Stormlord trilogy elsewhere: THE LAST STORMLORD, STORMLORD RISING, STORMLORD'S EXILE
