Dushanbe Book Club
Our little house was crammed when we hosted the book club this month. Every chair, glass, plate, cup and fork in the house (which doesn’t amount to too many) was called into action and recycled a few times. (And no, no such thing as disposable plates here.) About 20 folk packed into the living room-five on the sofa at one count. Great selection of shoes by the door. Fortunately, the water waited until everyone had departed and we had cleared up to quit coming through the pipes but no shower for us before bed. No water this morning either. We don’t think we smell too bad yet (it’s pretty cold today) despite only having had a basin wash in 36 hours. Fingers crossed the supply will resume soon.
PS The water returned late late night so - bliss - a shower before bed!

I have trouble picturing you two in a small house ... I've only seen you in large mansions! You seem to be managing to have a lot of fun over there, and I'm sure the Scottish country dancers were very pleased to welcome you into their midst.
What are you reading in your book club?
