We have been bouncing between home, shops and the Bakery for a few days now, and I've been able to acctually leave the house (and subsequently the washroom) for the last couple days too! Every time we go to Red Moon, (the Bakery) Something is either going wrong or going dreadfully slow. Slightly dicourraging. Yesterday we got a call in the morning from our manager Rakesh that the neighbour next to the bakery had come over the evening before and threatened to beat the workers if they kept drilling holes in the wall. Apperently they were trying to have some classes or something (at 10:00 at night??) and the drilling they were doing was disturbing them. So, as it turned out, he scared the crap out of the guys, and they refused to come to work all day yesterday. This means further delay. So yesterday was spent mediating, and attempting to find some sort of middle ground with this neighbour. As it turns out, they have classes from 7:30 in the morning till 10:30 at night. That's crazyness!!!! Oh, but they stop for lunch from 1:00 to 4:00, so you guys can work then. Right. Ok, so we can tell our guys that they have three hours durring the day that they can acctually get stuff done. Right. Our other option is they do everything in the middle of the night. So I believe they will be working all night tonight, and there were a couple carpenters there today, basically just putting in a door. Which believe it or not, takes an entire day. Work here confuses me. Anyway, on the bright side, the walk in fridge was assembled the other day, and the frezzer was also delivered. They look good, and despite a few things that wont fit in it, all is well with those. The walls are painted, the floors have been ground and buffed, and the toilet and sink are in and plumbed up. So as it stands, I think we're about a week away! Hooray!!! But there are still a few hurdles to jump over before we can even bake in there. For instance, there is no power. This is a big one. We have a little bit, enough for lights and fans, but they are waiting for the power people to come and hook up the phase 3 so the ovens and fridge and freezer can acctually be turned on. Anyway, I gotta run and watch a movie, but I'll give ya another update in a few days.

Ciao!
