Wah Duh! (Indonesian expression of surprise)



It's amazing what a few well-placed phone calls can do. I stayed home for a bit monday morning and made some phone calls and when we came home from school this (see photo) was waiting for us. Our landlord came through and we now have this brand new automatic washing machine. My pembantu was so excited she could hardly contain herself. This will make her life a lot easier. She works very hard cleaning, washing the clothes and taking care of the kids.

Cool ...........glad that you didn't have to wait any longer! Doesn't it make you want to do a load or two yourself? :-)
Things are good here too .....I'll get Martin to post pics for you guys so you can see what was done to your driveway/drainage etc. Me thinks that problem is solved too and our recroom is back together!
Now ....some normalcy would be good, eh? :-)
Have a great day!!!

Congratulations! In the short time you guys have been in your kampung, you've had quite the improvements made to it. It's nice that they are willing and able to do that for you.
Rob has traded in his Beemer for a mini van. He broke down and realized that his bachelor vehicle was not that practical for a family. We pick it up on Tuesday. Now I have to get used to driving it!
Wishing you a blessed weekend.
