Where there is a will, there is a way

When I wrote about the table tennis ‘net’ I’d seen in Pokhara, Nepal, Sharon (@simone10) said in her response: Where there is a will there is a way and I was reminded of that last night as we tried to get my computer connected to the power here in Kathmandu, Nepal. We have the connector piece but it had to hang from a wall fitting. It was very loose and kept tipping enough that the power wasn’t getting through. But we fixed it with a folded business card so now I can myLot as long as I have time for. You can work around a lot of problems with a bit of thought. We’ll be going up for breakfast soon. It’s served on the rooftop. If it’s a clear day you get a good view of the cities and the mountains beyond but mostly it’s foggy and overcast. I’ll have porridge and I’m tipping Vince will have apple pancake. Sounds good to me. And we’ve both got quite addicted to ginger and lemon tea with honey. It’s supposed to be good for colds too and we really need to get through any health checks in Kuala Lumpur and Perth. Luckily, we’re both much better than we were.

We've been away almost three weeks. We came back to the same hotel once we left Lumbini.

There is usually a solution to be found.

The phone charger doesnt work for me unless it is propped up on something. A pair of nail clippers beneath it seems to make the ideal platform!

@JudyEv Yes, it just needs a bit of !average or a small angle.

Haha. It doesn't take much, does it? Just something the right size.

I'm glad you have access to the internet. I love my morning hot water with lemon, honey and ginger, I started drinking this concoction in November 2018. I'm glad you're getting better.

You eat breakfast on a rooftop? I envy you that bit of romance. Apple pancakes sound great to me.

@JudyEv Please help me understand about that table. (Interesting photo) Is that a wooden topped table?

@sallypup It's made of cement and there is one cement support at one end - under where the salt and pepper is.

Rooftop access seems to be fairly common here. This is one of the tables.

Sounds like you are having a good time in that place. I hope you travel safe for now and staying healthy is very much important because of the ongoing pandemic right now. So keep safe, stay healthy and maintain good hygiene habits so that the virus may not have an opportunity to invade you.

@JudyEv Well hope he does not get fever else you may be considered suspicious already. But I am not aware if Nepal has a case already in their country. Travel has been very restrictive nowadays because of this scare.

Thank you and we're doing our best to stay well. I'll be pleased to be safely home now. Vince has a bit of a cough but he always coughs a bit. I just hope it doesn't impact on us.

@JudyEv You are right Judy, we went through many problems and we need to be creative. My husband often laughs when I see how I fix things, but the important is that it works.

You don't get to 73 without running into lots of problems along the way. I'm sure you're just as innovative at fixing small problems.

It's great, isn't it? I'm totally sold on it and intend to keep having it at home. I'm sure it's better than having so much coffee.
