Holi

Steve's involvement in client presentations, combined
with the incumbent move to our new apartment resulted
in a week devoid of the luxury of blogging. The
children wanted all my attention at home, which
I adore, but when they settle down to sleep so
too do I.

Next week is "Holi" - a time for citizens of
India to fill balloons or plastic baggies with
colorful paint and pelt each other.
All traffic, and all tourists are not immune
from attack. I've been warned to stay
inside all day ... but I admit that I really do
want to step outside and join the fun. I'm not
sure what the significance of the paint is ---
but I'll find out by my next posting. Some ex
pats join in the paint attacks to return home
absolutely covered in bright colors.

The guy who I go to for meat also has a small
display of grocery necessities for sale.
Yesterday he proudly showed me the array of
Easter eggs behind the counter so now I
know where the easter bunny will go to get
Catherine and Iain their eggs!
