The Electricians: Day 12

[poliphilo]

Khalid and his crew have been here, but it's the window boys who took centre stage. At the end of the day we have power everywhere- except in the kitchen- and four new windows have been fitted, plus the kitchen doors.  It's been a bright, sunny day- and perishingly cold.

A right-wing LJ friend who assured me that our political differences would never come between us has unfriended me- presumably over my Afghanistan poems. I'm a little disappointed.

 I'm reading Ophelia Field's history of The Kit Kat Club.

Tomorrow is Eid. The window boys will be coming in, but Khalid is having the day off; he's earned it.

I'm off the list too. Don't recall mentioning Afghanistan tho. Not sure how I feel about that war, whether it's practicable and winnable. I do loathe the Taliban. My LJ friend kraygern is a counter-intelligence officer with the US Army who is going to be / is involved with work in Afghanistan. His perception is interesting and a good read.

I'm making a point of not defriending him back, because he's an interesting writer.

The Taliban are loathsome, but so are most governments. If we marched into every country whose political elite we disapprove of we'd be fighting a world war.

I'll go take a look at kraygern.
