Together

They met after a week last night because Gogi wasn't home with them as he was under vet care while we were away and now they're inseparable. 

all of this and that

 Finally, after several hours of cleaning, changing, washing, mopping, wiping and vacuuming here we are in a somewhat cleaner house than what I had come to.

I say somewhat because I am still a bit undecided as to what looks not completely in synch. I know what it is, it's the windows and glass panes that need a good squeaky cleaning up and which I couldn't finish today because I ran out of juice.
I mean I was able to finally have lunch at 3:40, which is hardly a suitable time to eat lunch and almost too shamefully late.

I feel like a total novice to a keyboard. This new keyboard is throwing me completely off balance with its noise and the keys that are so extremely blocky. I am so used to the soft tap of the previous laptop's keyboard that this feels like I'm typing on a typewriter. 

So where were we?
Right, yes to the house, back from the vacation which was alright I guess, as vacations go, I'd have preferred it to be with someone other than 'people' but that what can one do?
The pitfalls of marriage are that you're destined to spend time with that one person you've got yourself societally glued to. Anything else is fundamentally wrong.

The cold has finally begun to bite and a lot of my plants have been sacrificed to the frost which has a way of turning to a thin sheet of ice over every surface these mornings. 

I found myself greatly disturbed this morning when a man in my full view hung a rabbit to a tree and skinned it while I thought it was thrashing about.
I complained about it as well but I'm not sure anyone's going to do anything about it. I mean my sensibilities getting hurt are no one's concern when a man was flaying a rabbit to eat and not on my property either.
It left me feeling angry and aggravated to a point where I think I shall not find myself being nice or civil to the people of the said family and if my hunch is correct then this is the rabbit I have been seeing inside their house for the past few months. The same rabbit they've been feeding and playing with.

Last day of the year they say..
I have no plans, not this year. Will just sit with my cats, drink some sparkling water and call it a night. 

Morning litany

That I'm drinking tea first thing in the morning, before any chores goes on to show that today we are in for a long haul.
That I returned to a filthy house would be an understatement because the house is dirtier than I've seen it since forever.
The housekeeper only fed the cats and cleaned their litter but didn't clean the house because I didn't ask her to.
Yes!
That's alright is what I said to myself the moment I entered my house and I kept thinking 'tomorrow' over and over, and after a sleepless night here we are. Today!
I have to clean from top to bottom.
Added to my woes is something people did in my kitchen this morning which let to a minor flooding and the kitchen is wet with dirty foot prints, the sofa has throw up and hair ball stains, the floors are littered with paw prints and foot prints from all the wet shoes around the house. I have to clean up everything!
Seriously everything as in change the tablecloths, the runners, the throws, the beddings.
There's going to be a fuck lot of washing up!
Also, there's frost all over the backyard.
It's cold and I'm looking forward to cleaning up!

At peace

घर के WiFi की बात ही कुछ और है

Phew once again

So things got sorted 

Some colours

It's too sunny and hot today and I'm almost happy to return to my very cold abode. 

This day

Today, my last day here in the beautiful city of warmth and beaches. Tonight I get back to my cats whom I miss so very dearly. 

This morning I was besieged by the most disturbing messages from friends in my old compound. 
I am trying to figure it out and understand more.
