It appears that my blog entry on Day 23 has been seen by somebody at Sheherazade - service in the garden has been much less bad over the weekend - it only took 8 minutes to obtain 2 fresh lemon juices on Sunday, and there was no hold-up at the payment stage either.
I'm tempted to post about my next complaint - the fact that the 'bin' in the bathroom near the pool is emptied so infrequently. I might even include a picture of it, but it is too disgusting for that. I assume than management never goes into that bathroom.
The weather here has cooled off, especially in the evenings. It can be quite pleasant and I've started carrying a scarf for dinner-time.
This week I will make the annual trip(s) to the visa office. The paper-work looks good, but I'm sure that the goal-posts will have been moved.
