Did the old roof blow away in a storm ?

these were  metal  sheets which could actually have taken off a few days ago when we had a good windstorm with great surprise, no power outage ! , But not at all ;
I don't know what they will be replaced by;

it is the house of one of my sisters-in-law and most of the workers are residents of the village.

Hmmmm. Most tvs have a detachable stand.

 

I think that there are probably many things you can do if you think outside the box. How about giving her a long massage, or visa versa every day? Do you have a digital camera- take photos and create a digital album; try cooking exotic dishes with recipes off the internet; take up gardening etc etc.

Ah I love LOS, the land that health and safety has not yet ruined. I believe in personal responsibility.

Out on the basketball court this morning, but at 70+ half-hour is all I can manage. Doesn't put much of a dent in the day though so I sit here happily chatting/arguing with you guys. ????

We've had a ferocious storm that flattened all the salahs in the rice paddies, took the roof off our car port, and several tiles went flying from the house roof, two power outages, one lasting 24 hours.

I was desperate worrying that my beer would get warm.

Luckily the kitchen is mainly gas  and the shower too, so we are keeping clean and well fed.

7 cases of lubrication if the ban extends beyond today.

Gets a massage 2 or 3 times a day....I'll try and explain "vis-a-versa" to her.  Do that digital camera thing too!  I have half a dozen external drives filled with video and stills.  Not exotic but I made Cinnamon scrolls yesterday...which didn't turn out quite right...but all got eaten!  Making more today.  Kerry dropped off my curing salt #1 yesterday so there is some bacon makin' coming up.  Just need to get some belly pork at Makro for that.  Cooker/Smoker is up and ready to go.

Try meditation.. it is better than sitting around doing nothing..

Yeah - you can just THINK about doing nothing! :sorry:

 

Slightly less flippant:

Im in UK:

Walking everyday (same walk gets monotonous but never mind)

My flat has never been cleaner

Learning to cook some new dishes

LOADS of music / video downloads to enjoy

Meditation is not what you think it is...   

Yeah - I know - I did admit to being flippant - just couldn't resist.

And I have added to my post since
