The further adventures of an electricity man

Hi Folks, I have no doubt you will be on the edge of your seats awaiting the next instalment of the "Electric connection". Yesterday I telephoned the man again and an arrangement to meet was duly made. At the villa? Eh no! At the electricity board office? Eh .... No! Outside the police station in Budaiya? Eh .... Yes! Only when I got there the man from the electricity company was not there. But his wee brother was. Ah well in for a Fil in for a Dinar, I spoke to him and he seemed very nice. I duly handed over the BD100 deposit (£180) and a copy of my documnetation and off he went happy as Larry. I thought to myself, "I'll be lucky if I see him or the money again" but I didnt feel I had a choice. Anyway, a few minutes ago, whilst I am typing this my phone went. I answered to hear a fine sounding chap from the electricity company making an arrangement to switch the electricity on this morning after 8 o'clock. I am not counting any chickens but it looks very promising. Remember that all of the electrical appliances have still to be tested and the air conditioning checked. There's a lot can go wrong yet. Managed to watch the exciting golf yesterday but it looks like we will miss the actual climax today. Still, if that is because we are actually getting moved in then that's an acceptable situation. Looks like we will have no internet in place for Tuesday which is a big day for Sheila. I have a meeting after school so I thought we might hang around in school after that for a while so that we can maybe have a skype chat to any of you who are available at that time. I am planning to take her out for a nice meal in the evening and we will do present shopping after a few days when we are settled into the villa. If I can get internet in the villa by then we can skype away after the meal but I am sorry I am not optimistic for that. I will try my very best though. We will just have to make up for it when we do get connected again.
Cheers for now
