Stargazer4moon's blog: "It depends on what occurs on the way."

Just like in India everything goes round like clockwork in Sri Lanka, same time every day. ===We start the day with a boy sweeping a path somewhere until it is time for the room boy to clean the room. Then if we go backwards from bed time, someone comes in to turn the beds down, tidy the towels & put some chocolates on the lounge table. Before that house service call to put a mosquito tablet in the machine. Then there is the Canape man who calls about 7pm. Prior to that anyone could knock for some reason, usually another house service to fill the bar of booze & water plus any treats that might have been taken. The room boy has usually finished the room cleaning and by 5pm he might pop in to make sure he has not forgotten to put the origami towel animal, that he has made and left by the mirror, onto the bed. If you are in he will of course tell you to have a good evening. He has spent the day cleaning the rooms so was around and about from 8am. Just before him there seems to have been the garden boy with the flowers but that is not scheduled, just his way of making some pin money. So when I say it is a busy day, well it is, but for everyone else not me. ==== The man with the limp told House service that he had done the mosquito machine himself and did not need anything so we got no canapes or chocolates, which is no hardship as we have a stockpile of chocolates in the fridge where they are keeping from melting. He was a little abrupt with the young man who has feelings like anyone so he never returned, the bathmat was on the floor & the beds never got turned down. Luckily I have cracked how to stop the shower from dripping and leaking under the shower door so the mat was dry, it was just untidy and I picked it up when we returned from the evening entertainment, which turned out to be a young woman smoking a hubble bubble machine like they do in France or Tunisia. === The Iguana had long gone to bed and I wonder what he makes of the goings on around him, especially when a young woman tries to get her partner to pose with it down by the pool.
