Lunch on Ketawang Beach

Ketawang is a beach of the south of Purworejo. The local government designates it as one of their points of interest. This day I and some ordinates (Ketut, Haryono, Sukadi, Parmin, Mardani, Tumiran, Djumadi, Tyas, Wiwik, Tasinah, Ary, Yulianti, Retno, etc) had lunch there to celebrate the retirement of Sardi and Sulam. Since this day they were retired men. We had dorang barbeque, crab in red gravy, fried shrimp and blacan kangkung stir fry. They all were delicious. The Yu Yem stand prepared them.

I started my day with dawn prayer. In the office I joined a ceremony to commemorate the still standing of Pancasila, our country's basic principles. As usual my role was the inspector. Rochadi was the commander. I had my breakfast at Bina Marga stand. At 11.00 I, Ktut and Acep were leaving for Ketawang Beach. After having lunch we went to Semarang. I planned to buy kidney soup in Magelang but I failed. The stand closed. We continued riding and finally arrived home at 16.15. On waiting for maghrib I did gardening. In the evening I and Nuri walked to Alfamart counter to buy tabloid and red rice.

The tv stations broadcasted that the death toll of West Sumatra quake was about 500. The President came to Padang soon after he arrived from USA to support the victims.
