June 2008

This month we're into winter, and we've had a couple of good freezes in the past week. It's been difficult to train barefoot over ice. Not because of the cold, but because of limited traction.

Anyway, this coming month I'll be a 'forced bachelor'. Mami is attending a conference in Croatia, and she will visit her family in Japan after that. Coincidentally, she was at the airport the same time as Albany, my eldest daughter, on her way to a conference in Vanuatu. They'd better make the most of it. Air travel is going to be a thing of the past.

I'm going well on my own, cooking Indian dishes for the first time in a while. Banana puri, raita, cauliflower curry and rice. Yummy! But I'd better go easy on the oil. A recent ultrasound at the hospital confirmed that I'm full of gall stones - at least a dozen. They are a good size too - one was measured at 1.4 cm!

Finally, I have dabbled with posting some recent photographs of the past year or so. If you click to see all of them, they come up in colour.
