It was rainy this morning. When I went out in my poncho, I met a guard who had walked into a column on Day 64. He was wearing a hat with its brim extended by a handmade cardboard brim covered by a plastic bag! I laughed. He explained to me that it was not only convenient to avoid rain, it also prevents him from walking into a pole as the brim will act as a stopper!! This guy is seriously funny.
After the chat, I went to a brekkie and the hairdresser, and then came back to the compound. That guard came wearing no hat. I said to him, 'No hat?' He replied, ''Cuz it's not raining anymore.' So I said, 'It's a shame.' He burst out laughing and said, 'You always have a word!'. What did he mean?! I just engaged in an ordinary meaningless conversation.
I heard that two guys were sent to Christmas Island. One building (next to Lima) was completely vacated last week. Obviously, the centre is preparing for something. I hope I can get out before the influx of new detainees...
Oh, by the way, I went to the Medical Centre to see a GP and asked him to squeeze me in to see an optometrist. My appointment time was the same time as one of my friends who went to see a psychiatrist. We had a chat on the way and I found she was taking Seroquel. She even doesn't have major depression, let alone psychotic illness. I think Seroquel is the only available medication to doctors of IHMS. Ridiculous.
