And it may not be all food-related, but I want to post about it. I think I have come back from this vacation really refreshed and organised somewhat in my head. It shows in the office. It shows in my mind (except I can’t really show you that…just take my word for it). Most of all it shows at home in my flat in Guyana, where I have finally uncovered the dining table. And the living room chairs. And have been cooking something almost every day. Since my return from Barbados that has not happened. At all. (Except from those biscuits/scones I made when Lilandra visited. And those had their own story.) I think this feeling justifies my extension of a 19 day vacation into the almost 5 weeks I dragged out of the boss (see how good I am at my job? I can negotiate. I only had to attend one 2-day meeting. In Trinidad!). And so I think this period is well worth posting about - and not to gloat at anyone who is thinking “FIVE WEEKS??!!?” I haven’t had a break since last May. Typhoid Fever does not count!) [...] [...] I know I have already started posting post-vacation fare, but I meant to briefly blog about my recently-concluded much-needed and long-awaited holiday.

So complain to your landlord , why have you not done so already or whoever is in charge as they are on holidays.... But an immediate solution is to ask her to move her place of sleeping to the next side so that you would not be disturbed. But from her conversation with your sister she has been watching you or got info from her grand mother about you.... sounds scary you know.....
