At Babushka’s flat. Cable TV installed finally – portable aerial was giving very bad picture for years. Came to reorder channels (she wants her “normal” channels back on the old numbers, and installer couldn’t remove old, non-working channels). Bring new batteries for remote control. Sit down to check what needs to be where. Cable TV not working, technicians selected the small amount of time we’re here to carry out work on infrastructure in this area. D’oh

In some areas of town there are no bins as far as the eye can see. Here they are placed every 2m! Literally. http://t.co/YHRgRqlt

lmao. I probably should be a little bit cautious rather than laughing, but… … By playground downstairs, found shaded area to sing & push Tim to sleep… Guess the repititive walking up & down caught someone’s attention via CCTV. Plain clothes guard comes out to check me out & his gun was unclipped, ready to draw from his holster! I carried on singing a lullaby to Tim & just ignored him. He seemed to check I really had a baby and wandered back inside… If I were up to no good I’d attempt to blend in with the locals a bit more 🙂

Compilation of recent tweets:
1) Handy hint 4 Astana drivers.If u r driving round bend in road,NO need 2 indicate.If u r changing lanes/turning off road,DO indicate. Thanks.
2) It is apparently now the World Religious Conference in Astana. Which would explain why returning from Anna’s playgroup involved random roads
3) Kazakhstan, defining the 21st Century. Redefining imperialist versions of concepts such as religious freedom + tolerance and democracy. 😐
4) Praise be!(Wide cheesy grin, hand gesticulations aplenty)that Mr Blair has given a general thumbs up,so we can be reassured that all is well
