So, I have been off my meds since the end of July and, despite a pretty gruelling schedule, I've been doing fine but today, just as I was setting off, I got a horrible pain in my hip and couldn't bear the idea of doing the 35 minutes from where I'm staying now to the place I am considering buying. Luckily I had an excuse to bail as the vendor is a Muslim and away in Colombo visiting family for Eid so it made sense to put it back a day.
In the last post I spoke about the "unknown unknowns" and then today had a perfect example. In a conversation about the merits and otherwise of swimming pools on one's property, it transpired that there may be a development planned for the lagoon. Something to do with a private/military airfield for seaplanes with support from the President's brother. Apparently there was a big demonstration this time last year by the fishermen because the security would mean the end of their livelihood. Seems very short-sighted to me as it would be more valuable to tourist industry if cleaned up rather than taken out of play except for planes. In any case, worth investigating.
