Just read your email. Everything is fine here - just one short shower the day you left but clouds are looming. Today (Friday) there is only Steve working as he wants to complete the roof and then colourwash the kitchen. I don't think he can do both. Anyway everything should be over tomorrow and then I can get back to the cooking. Dani has come in the night and just left. Yesterday was Hitheshi's wedding - eight at the church, then to Mt. Lavinia for the poruwa and lunch - so four of us sat and sat and sat and by about 11.30 we had had enough and the buffet was going to be open at 12.30. So Saku had a workshop at 12.30, we said some lies also and managed to get off and buy some packets on the way. Good thing you were not here - it was such a complete waste of time!
Jayanthi is coming to read the Sinhala version of Punani with me in the afternoon. Otherwise I am translating like mad. House is still in a mess so working is less tiresome! Jagath didn't come to bring the things though when I called him he was coming "tuk". Steve attended to all that and I have kept scrupulous accounts!.

How is my favourite son in law? - my other favourite has brought me lunch!! So I am well looked after. The film crew is coming tomorrow and the Wijesinghes will doss down here - Sana is already awaiting the dinner from the cast!

Did Mum like the pendant? Love to all of you. Write again.

love, Ammi
