Time. The old enemy.

Awoke this morning to the sound of the cleaner banging my door and shouting "Are you awake, Baba?".

I checked the time on my phone. 9:32am. What bliss. A lie in.

"I am now, Mama", I shouted back.

I'm not sure if I was being rude or charming here. Impossible to gauge, really. It may even have been deeply racist.

I got up to buy some skype credit on my intanet to find that my computer disagreed with my phone's analysis re 9:32.  It countered, 8:32.  

Then I checked my watch, you'd think the authority on the matter, and it disagreed with the analysis of both my computer and my phone. 

10:32.

What a mess. What a temporal debacle this day was turning into.

I'm not quite sure what happened but suffice to say I missed breakfast. Badly.
