The line of 130 kids on their way to the picnic
Lucky, one of three dogs the kids have

Ramilla and Shushmita looking cool
Just a quick post to put some photos on from the picnic on Wednesday.
It's howling a gale here today but also incredibly hot, so at least all the washing's drying really fast - we're in charge of washing all the blankets in the house before they're packed away for the winter - in a large bucket with cold water and soap powder - wahey! Mind you, it's that hot that the water from the tap on the roof is warm!
Must also remember to try to take some photos of the roads and transport here - our last journey into Thamel was in a 'micro' (a 12 seat minibus) with a total of 26 people on it...two hanging out of the door and the guy who collected the money somehow hanging on behind them. There are no traffic lights so turning out of junctions just means risking it and trusting that the traffic coming the other way will slow down for you - it has to be seen to be believed!
Hi Ann and Ali, Have at last managed to access your blog, and have spent the last 20 mins catching up with your news. It all sounds AMAZING - Alison is doing so well. Pictures are great - but not enough of you or both of you! It's great that you are managing to explore the country a bit and get out of the smoggy city. The kids must love having you about and will miss you when you go. There is just a hint of spring weather here - so enjoy the warmth while you can. Thought you might like to know that our electric is due to be off for 7 hours next Wed!

Jings - how many egg sandwiches did you have to make?
ReplyDeleteI have been back in the UK for a week and I must say it is nice to get back here for some BLUE sky....
Washing blankets is my mother in law's speciality and that is how I intend it to stay.
The weeks will just fly past now.
