Babaari...

Friday, 2 January 2009

• Nepali Phrase of the day: Babaari ful ko bot, aayo dhalkaudai jham-jham ista-kot... Which is basically a little ditty about the mint flower plant and being dressed in a stylish coat - I think I have missed the point but it's very cute all the same!
• Weight: Please don't ask! Lach made a very very delicious chocolate cake for my b'day yesterday and I had cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner :-S scales don't seem to have ballooned yet, perhaps tomorrow when it all digests though. It was fun though, and very very tasty! I've always wanted to eat nothing but cake for an entire day!

Today was one of the those very odd days... My mum had another run in with the police... For such a good person this happens surprisingly often! This time it was just the car though, impounded because the rego had expired. She just forgot to pay! The funniest part was definitely when the police called my brothers to go and pick her up from the station though :-) I'm trying to encourage her to write a tv serial about her life - it would be so funny, though most likely unbelievable! So many things happen to her... Never a dull moment!

There is also never a dull moment with Ganesh who bleached his hair in an odd sort of gradient pattern, but somehow it still manages to look a thousand times better than mine! There was also an incident today with the hot water tap exploding and us losing almost an entire bath full of hot water before Ganesh managed to force another tap on with sheer brute strength... It doesn't look like sustainability has made a promising start in 2009... He's very lucky though - I thought we were going to flood the house for sure when the emergency contacts for the apartment block all refused to come and help!

Apart from that it's just been a very very lazy day... Didn't pack any boxes... didn't really do anything at all... Spent most of the day looking through all the projects on instructables.com for the house and for Trash2Treasure. The best of the bunch were:

• Lightbulb Projects: Snail Aquarium Greenhouse Snow Globes Lamps Wall hook
  
• Bookshelves: Inverted Invisible
• Fire Balls you can touch!
• 900000 volt Van der Graaff Generator

And reading through Couch Surfing profiles to try and find free accommodation for the eclipse in Japan, China and Tibet! I did sign the new house up to be an available couch which might be interesting :-)

Note: Something weird just happened... The gas company said I had already arranged to move the gas to the new house, but I never did!! Perhaps someone's stolen my identity? Or else there really is a magic moving fairy... I know I'm not that senile yet!
