We went to a kids' workshop thing the other day and the boys made these pots. They were very pleased with themselves.
It's not a very good photo but this is the sideboard that we bought the other day. It's now in our house, but it looks a bit lonely without the rest of our things which are STILL stuck in Mumbai :-(
iphoto is being weird and won't let me crop this. This is in the market near our house.
Completely out of the blue we have had the most amazing weather today - cool and breezy and not a hint of humidity. Very different to the last few hot and sticky days. Here are the boys on the balcony. Louie is setting up our new favourite game: carom.
Complete with advertising space.
I love this sign. It looks like the kids have gone shopping with a bell hop. Or maybe I've just been spending too much time in hotels.
So we went to Noida today. Technically that should be NOIDA because it's an acronym for New Okhla Industrial Development Area, but everyone calls it Noida and it's become a word in its own right. It's on the outskirts of Delhi, on the other side of the Yamuna River. It's a pretty weird place. On the one hand, there's quite a lot of green scrubland, and everything is quite far apart, connected by well maintained roads. But there is a huge amount of construction: check out the buildings under construction in the photo. What are they for? Who is going to use them? They seem so out of place. And then there are the cows as you can see here, and if you look carefully a whole herd of water buffalo walking down the central green bit. We did buy a very nice sideboard though from a big furniture warehouse. Will post a photo when it's delivered.
