Welcoming the new guy

The night after Angela's farewell, we hosted another function. This time...to welcome David & Helen.

We supposed to have alot of the prep work done the night before but as you probably noticed from the previous post....that wasn't going to happen !!

Somehow....Tania & I managed to pull it off.







The new folks: David & Helen

There's Angela back for yet more !!! (it was only soft drinks for Angela this night)

A farewell for Angela

Last Sunday, we had a farewell Champagne Brunch for Angela; one of Tania's work colleagues. Angela is a really lovely lady & Tania & I have become good friends with her. It's a shame we couldn't spend more time together. Angela...we're going to miss you !!

Here are some photos from the brunch:









A photo of our pride & joy - the rug

As close as I ever want to get to a cobra

This is Pushkar Lake: considered sacred to the Hindus. It is said that this lake was consecrated to Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe when a lotus dropped from his hand into the vale and a lake emerged in that place.

A rather motley lot at the Pushkar Lake

Something you see quite alot of in India



I really like this photo. The man has such a great face; you want to know what sort of life have you led ??














More Movember action going on here

See if you can figure out what's special about this guy !!









This camel had such a bored look in its eyes !!
