It's Nepali New Year's Day today and in their calendar it's the year 2067! There's a celebration tonight, I think, culminating at the small temple just at the top of our road.
We went to Bodhnath yesterday and it's beautiful. It's a Buddhist stupa surrounded by houses, cafes and little shops - really peaceful and gorgeous in the middle of the madness. My camera battery's charging so I'll get some photos on once it's done.
There was a massive thunderstorm last night - it lasted about 4 hours and the lightning was pink! In addition to looking amazing, it had the added benefit of frightening the life out of the local dogs so it was unusually quiet last night. Nepali dogs sleep all day and bark all night - it's like the dog chorus, you can hear them from miles away - it's a joy.....
Santoshi has just yelled that breakfast is ready - it's one of our favourites today, potato and chickpea curry with rice and dahl - so I'll disappear just now. Not sure what time the electric's on later but will try to post photos when I can.
