Sorry have not posted for awhile now. Life just takes over sometimes sigh! I am back in India again for a short visit. The other day when I went near a plant I must have startled my friend Mr G. because I heard this almighty rustle and of he leaped from the bush and broke into that funny run of his.:-)
Today I saw him sunning himself but he was less perturbed by me. I guess he is getting used to seeing me around now. But he did keep a wary eye on me as I came close to take a picture. He turned his little head in all angles to see what I was up to and just sat there watching me.
My time here seems to be perpetually full of things to do but this time thankfully mum is keeping fairly well. But I do need to take her for a check up to the doctors which is bit of trek from here but it's got to be done. Weather here has been extremely pleasant for this time of the year. The day time temps are around 28 degrees and 24 in the nights and very low humidity which makes it really pleasant to go about.
My Santa clause is taking shape very slowly so Jules you are right it will be ready by next christmas :-)
Hello Shashi, thank you so much for welcoming me back! I went to Pilates again today, and so far I’m enjoying it very much so I intend to keep going. Pinterest is brilliant. I've found loads of lovely things there.
ReplyDeleteRegarding The book of little folk by Lauren A Mills, there are lots in the US, but I’ve only found one copy in the UK it's offered for sale on ABEbooks by a couple called Michael and Mary Burrell from Sidcup in Kent, I don’t know them personally, and sadly they don’t give a phone number, so I think you will have to order via ABEbooks. The price is £12.00, and I expect there will be a charge for postage.
It’s a very long link, and I don’t know how to shorten it, so I will give it to you as is;

If you paste the link into Google it should take you to the book.
I'm going to read your posts now. Love Barbara
Thank you Barbara for your help. I will try them once I get back. I think the same couple have it in amazon as well. I just fell in love with the cover:)
DeleteLove shashi
Glad to hear your mum is doing well. I’m envious of the temperature there – it’s very cold in Somerset at the moment, but no snow, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteIf I came across Mr. G it would be me that jumped rather than him, anything that moves quickly always startles me
Looks like the weather will be milder by the time I get back. I just checked the forecaste. So not long to go for spring i think
Deleteglad to hear your mom is keeping well :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen
DeleteI am glad your mum is going on so well Shashi. And how lovely to see cute Mr G again - I think he was just waiting for a photo call! Take care and safe travelling! (f Santa gets finished early you could always make him swimming trunks - like Raymond Briggs book!:))x
ReplyDeleteHa ha that I could do after all Santa can't just be visiting cold countries in his travels. He has a job to do down under too:)
DeleteGlad to hear your mum is doing well. Mr G is so cute. The weather would be too hot for me.
ReplyDeleteActually Wendy because we are near the sea it does not feel hot because of the sea breeze. But give a few more weeks it definitely will feel a lot more hotter
ReplyDeleteHi Shashi,
ReplyDeleteYour little friend, Mr. G is so cute. Love that he stayed still until you took the photo! :)
Hugs
I think Mr G. must wait for you to return -..and he doesn't run off..that's cool. YOu are a great daughter going there and helping out your mom (which sounds like u made the trip quite a bit). Glad your weather was cooperating but this isn't farenheit right - because i would be really cold if it was.
ReplyDeleteYou are right Sandy it is not Farenhiet it is in centigrade and getting hotter slowly
ReplyDeleteOh he's so cute.....I love lizards.We often see them when we go to Greece.
ReplyDeleteBet your mum is happy to have you with her...are you home yet?
Thanks for visiting my blog btw Shashi (I can't reply to you via email).
