This is a post about frustration

I was going to spell out the details, but I just don't have the energy for it. Basically, I'm tired of obstacles and buraucracy and working around the systems. I just want the internet set up and a freaking phone. But one piece is needed for the other which is needed for the next, which makes certain details a complicated circle. It's like a closed system and we can't quite seem to break in.

I'm super pleased that I cooked a dinner in my own home last night (sauteed potatos, mushrooms and onions, green salad with vinaigrette, and fried whiting - hee). But this morning, I'm tired of things being difficult, of running into unforeseen obstacles in trying to accomplish basic daily tasks.

Thank goodness we're not in a truly foreign land. I can't imagine how taxing that would be!

Bizarrely, my tiny Welsh vocabulary includes the word for whale.

That you even have a tiny Welsh vocabularly blows the mind. Or just confirms your linguistic superiority.

I am slowly acquiring vocab. It's pronounciation that's really hindering me. Thankfully, the Welsh are amazingly nice and patient and willing to help when they can.

I am in love with this place!
