second day of blogging

This is my second day of blogging. I had never envisaged myself doing anything like this until I was 'shown the light' by a friend. Still learning...and I do have nightmares about it.

This is my leisure week having just returned from a family wedding in India and moving to a new job starting next week. I will need to find the time to blog once the fulltime job starts. I also cook and clean and look after a very cute yorkie, my Tasha's dog. She's away at university and I am responsible for him in her absence (actually in her presence too). Tanya, soon-to-be-12 has a TV audition for Britain's got Talent. She is talented but above all, she loves to perform. I just hope she enjoys what she does and that Simon Cowell won't be nasty and break her spirit!
Tom is coming home from University too to spend the weekend with us so it should be fun with 5 people and a dog!

Actually this seems like fun. Just putting thoughts into words for no apparent reason than it being better than leaving them in a forgotten diary on the bedroom shelf. Just blog them for the world to see..and watch moments recorded than have them fade away from the recesses of your memory!

Tanya almost missed her school bus today as I had to stop the car enroute to the bus stop to de-ice the windscreen. Only November and it is freezing already! I am actually excited about the new season. The dark days do not seem to bother me and winter and Christmas have to go together in my opinion..maybe I have lived in England for too long..more years than I have lived in my birth country, India. Those days it seemed the thing to do...leave our country for pastures new for a better life for us and our children. But now I have noticed, people opt to stay in India as the economy boom has finally hit our country. My sister rejects any proposals from abroad for her children (we still have arranged marriages where we can) as she does not see the joy of living anywhere but in our own land. Fair enough! I do like living here though and the kids see this as home although they enjoy their annual trips to mum and dad's birthland too.

I feel recharged after the two week break and ready to tackle housework and multitasking that we have to do in developed countries to get things done. However, it was so nice to be waited on hand and foot for two weeks! Perhaps winning that lottery would give me the best of all worlds!!!Keep on dreaming....
