Well there is some good news all around: first of all, Kiff brother, Dave has come home from Scotland. He was greeted by a huge snowstorm. One spicy Korean and one Vietnamese meal later and I think he is starting to feel a bit more like himself. (sadly, the latter meal was somewhat marred by the mother who changed her baby's poopy diaper right out in the open - peee-ew!) Anyhow, we are giddy to have Dave back from Scotland. In a few weeks we get Abi back from those haggis eaters, too. yay!
More good news: Lisa's friends Helena and Manu (who i met here) finally got married in udaipur.
here is a pic of them when i was there Lisa emailed to tell me that the festivities lasted for two weeks. Helena has that amazing British pragmatism coupled with a seemingly bohemian life. She goes back to England for a couple of months every year during accounting season to earn a bit of extra cash, then returns to Rajasthan where she has been waitign for 3 years for the astrologer to pick an auspicious date for their wedding. I want to travel again.
Kiff did a massive shoveling of snow today, and once again the old neighbour came out, but this time with a bottle of grappa and a 2-oz shot glass. at 9:30 am. He would not take no for an answer.
Finally, babies are cute (even when they have poopy diapers). But some are cuter than others. Check out this picture Rich took on Oscar night of my scrumptious, clobber-you-with-cuteness baby neice, Sydney:Here
