Feb-2026

The Kiari family sent photos of the Himalayas under snow. It looks spectacular.

Rishabh has started to see someone. I hope this is going well!

Well the only weekend we could make turned out to be Kyle's birthday. She wondered if we'd asked to visit just when that was, but alas sorry I didn't know. Anyway, it was a lovely weekend.

I tried my hand at Indian food. It's funny; I planned on doing it often but somehow have not been cooking. I really like the idea of bread with no preservatives etc etc. It turned out quite well and everyone ate it.

I was on call (S1 duty) for work, so haven't done anything for two weekends.

Jan-2026

It feels like another world to be "home". At the airport, I asked for help and wasn't hounded into bying anything.

Happy birthday Fil.

Finally got to see my boys again. A few of Marie's sisters decided to come to the coast and visit.

I had a tube of Mehendi, so we had a bit of a go.

And a puzzle as always.

The guys from Kiari sent some photos of their village now it's snowing. This is the house at the end of the street where their Grandma lives.

I brought back some scarves to hand around. I think Mohammad and Farnaz look great in them.

Here's a snap of Shimla in the snow from this year. I wish we were there!

More visitors. January, everyone is on holidays.

Went over to dinner at Andy and Monika's to talk about India, but mainly talked about everything else, work etc.

Well happy new year everyone.
