Maintenance Day

Before the brunch I went to the gym. After about an hour on the treadmill and crosstrainer I went to the sundeck to strech. It was 38 degrees in the shade, and on the sundeck it must have been more than 45. I drank more than two litres in about two hours. Still, the active morning gave me enough energy to clean my quarters in the afternoon. Then I cleaned my weapons and did some paperwork. In the evening we had been invited to dinner to the gentleman from whom we rent the PO safe house, or the landlord, to put it shortly. He has a huge garden with three big houses in the outskirts of town. His three brothers work in the UK, Germany and Saudi-Arabia, and send him money to buy realestate and build houses in Afghanistan. We had a plentiful meal and a long walk in the garden afterwards. It was very pleasant to walk outside without having to wear 30 kgs of equipment.


Plenty of everything - even before the main course was brought to the "table".
