Just after breakfast there was a message: 30 people are coming for lunch. Our chef got a little stressed, as this would increase the amount of food to be served by about 200 %. I called the HQ and kindly requested that if they are able to notify us of these kind of visits a little bit earlier than three hours before in the future, it would be much appreciated. Because of the short notice, our chef decided to postpone what was planned for lunch until dinner, and resorted to mushroom soup with diced bacon for lunch. The guests arrived, but as was to be expected some of them didn't realise that the diced bacon was meant as decoration for the soup, and ate only fried bacon. Well, I suppose there are bigger problems in Afghanistan.
Today was the last day in Aybak for our Polish EUPOL-officers. They spent almost 11 months here as our colleagues, working with the ANP. Our co-operation with EUPOL was good and informal, and the Polish gentlemen with their charming personality also made many friends here.
Goodbye P and S, and take care.
Some parts for our new water container were missing from the delivery yesterday, and the mechanic T and hygiene officer E had to interrupt the assembly until the parts arrive. I hope that we don't run out of water while we are waiting.
