So last night... passing on that private party in this Russian nightclub, instead staying home, readin g a book and falling asleep over it... walking to the bedroom an hour later and sleeping properly in my bed... wake up.

Why? Dunno.

There it is again. Some noise from outside. And there it is again. Gosh there must be someone out there.

I get my pants and want to have a look. Switching on the light, I see my gardening "axe" lying on the padio, next to it a cloth and a stone. I look at the lock on my outer gate (outer, steel gate and then comes wodden door)... it's severely damaged! WTF!!!!

In fact it's damaged to an extent that I have to leave the house from the backdoor - which I am doing, armed with a flashlight and .... well the basis of my next firesword.

Dunno what exactly I have been thinking.... errm, wrong: I thought it would only be one guy (who apparently forgot his sarong on my gardens wall)... I'm searching and (fortunately) can't find anyone, but barking neighbors' dogs, so I go back to sleep. Yeah I know: stay in the house or bedroom. All nice in theory ( wink to Lurch) - but this ain't the US, this is India.... wink )

My killer-kitten did neither warn me, nor loyally stayed in the house. As a matter of fact, next time I've seen her was next morning, coming in and demanding food.... rolleyes Little bugger...

This morning I reported to the cops, who came to take a brief look and promised to watch the area bit more close. This evening two cops on a bike passed the house (little more remote location, still next neighbors are not further than 30m's away). Why I didn't call the cops immediately? Because my cellphone #1) got stolen and #2) got lost prior....

This year the entire season is starting early rolleyes

Hope to sleep safe and sound today

All cheered up now biggrin Thanks for that. Reminds me of that concert I wanted to go to. Tickets already bought. All excited, went to the concert hall and figured that... It had been the previous day ubblol *still bangs head to the wall*

India is allright hey. Some people are just desperate. Heard that story of the guy where they broke into, locked his bedroom door and started clearing the house, not without plundering the fridge and even cooking some food in the kitchen. Son came home in the morning after the party, found his dad hammering the door and shouting to set him free shrug India is allright and there are ways to protect ones self from misery by investing into (a) solid lock(s)... Haven't ever heard of any tough violence happening.

Thanks for the compassion redface smile

so, you're into voluptous elephants now? Should have seen it coming ...

and yes, I did get some sleep. And then I went to the swimming pool. Result: I only turned up at work at 5 p.m. But at least I am awake now. I hope nobody minds ... rolleyes



P.S. Is that you in the ocean? Is the person in the ocean wearing any panties?

Well not my preferred choice, but what to do when no(human)body else wants me. wink Even though I'm desperate for some cuddling and snuggling *eyebrows falling off, still wiggling* I'm not really advertising my self as single or compete with the other folks... I'm not into exploiting intoxicated females either, so all this puts me on the loner side of Goa shrug I might not read the signs properly, but I feel completely neglected and unappreciated by the female world, which is certain and slow death of a man (according to "Women are from Venus, men are..." out of nowhere (<- funny enough this can be read two ways)) which is why I start organize events... no ordinary job= time at my hands, no relationship = more time ubblol it all has a flipside I guess.



However, better late for work than not at all, dear... I wouldn't mind, as long as the work gets done. But that's me - in India.



And no, it's not me in the ocean. In 4 month I felt like going swimming twice. And one of the occasions has been in the South. I don't like the beaches here, I don't like the water... or the submerged (volcanic) rocks, or the sand which is so sticky, one has got to wash it off...



After the convention I'll go South for a holiday. A week or two at least. The water is clear, the beach wide, no rocks and the sand makes this squirky sound when you kick it. No tourists, no hawkers and hardly any locals on the beach. But pls don't tell anyone footinmouth



Panties? He is, but you wouldn't notice when looking from behind eek rolleyes I got take shots when they look right, regardless of dresscodes... redface



But you seem to have liked it. Here, have another mildly entertaining moment:

Yeah, I hear you: too many backlit sunsets and kitsch... I admit I'm not a good photographer. So have this one for a change...

Too many beaches? I'm from the mountains, whaddaya expect? I'll supply mountain pics in April/ May... promise.



Gotta run and "work"...

MEGAHUG! How are you Katrin (besides having a cold)?

I missed you! But what can I do? I'm busy talking ppl out of their guns, save the world one playground at a time so to speak.

How have you been doing? I sent you some good looking dudes to your intro, that were supposed to snug in with you and keep you warm. I shalt have a word with them, huh?

My intro seems to have a 'one post per month limit'... shrug What to do? I seem to rather go for quality and extremely nice people, rather than quantity and bad company wink

Sorry, I seem to lurk more than I post. Today however, will be the exception that proves the rule.

It's sunshiney here. Still cold, but that's OK. Maybe soon the wind will die down enough that I can get outside to spin again. After 4 months.... ubbrollsmile

Here everything closes down... the German Bakery, where I spent most of my (restaurant) life in the past 5 months closes tomorrow... only breakfast and then tik-he ('enought have').... the boys pack up and head to the mountains ubbcrying

It (still) is sunshiney here - SPF 30 and still get burnt after 3 hours... sunny

Yes I am - I'll be meeting someone special in Delhi biggrin



bounce2



I'm kind of sad too, because now is the best time in Goa. Almost everyone left, it's sunny and quiet. I like it this way. Letting go ain't easy rolleyes



However it's not getting boring: I got my house to pack up, a business to license, tax papers to sort, a residential permit to file for, packages to pack, to be sent to Bansheecat and my mom, transport of my Enfield from Goa to Delhi to arrange, the profit of last convention to donate, the next convention to schedule --- all this to be concluded in a weeks time or so, because I need some time on the beach.



That special person subtly deployed a comment on 'pale skin' that she wouldn't mind... To me that's a margin call or am I completely missing the point? After 6 months in Goa I still look like a Pommie and not remotely as a freedom fry...



Gotta run wink for the sun

Franzi indicated that a chromed Ganesha on top of the headlight would round the appearance and I'm certainly considering it biggrin and the front numberplate is a bit nakid... any suggestions what to paint on it (in Hindi)?
