All you see there now are some pictures from last year, but I will post photos up as I take them once in India.<br /><br />Candy, I'm not a soft track suit sort of girl really! But I do have a nice,soft,large silk/cashmere shawl which is great to cuddle into on autumnal days. This might work for Indian winter's evenings.ashramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372074132235819250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181244348660201528.post-42412401309148467682009-09-28T21:14:21.192+01:002009-09-28T21:14:21.192+01:00Do you have a favourite lounge thing?

I bet if youw ere thinking of not tkaking such an item due to space restrictions you will welcome a homey piece of clothing.<br /><br />I had to get a medical exam and shots and tested for all kinds of things like TB with immigration in U.S. so I know a little of what you're going through.Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181244348660201528.post-43371483483168150082009-09-27T19:05:23.833+01:002009-09-27T19:05:23.833+01:00Nasty little blighters!

At least here nothing bad has hitched a ride on them, their bites are still infuriating hoewever. <br /><br />Glad to see you here Steve.ashramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372074132235819250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181244348660201528.post-60653290988203114892009-09-27T18:27:11.550+01:002009-09-27T18:27:11.550+01:00That is because female mosquitoes are Mother Natur...That is because female mosquitoes are Mother Nature's own little hypodermic needles.brassawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970847366194207494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181244348660201528.post-55583106615786002002009-09-26T13:07:42.085+01:002009-09-26T13:07:42.085+01:00Beej, I will be posting pictures as soon as I have...Beej, I will be posting pictures as soon as I have an internet connection or have found a internet cafe. I'm probably going in with a quite low level of expectation regarding accomodations, (see the earlier <a href="http://ashramblings.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-might-it-be-like.html" rel="nofollow">what might it be like post</a>)<br /><br />Last week I was contemplating whether I should take anything with me to make the place feel "mine". I didn't come to any conclusions - I'm not a photo person, have never personalised a work desk to any great extent, but I did wonder if there was some item which would fullfill the "comfort" item criteria. That needs more thought I think.<br /><br />As for your questions about sharing, no as far as I know, at this point, I will be the first VSO person working with Shakti and so I will be, for now at least, the only VSO person there and probably the only European. This probably means I shall be living alone. I'm not overly concerned about that and just hope that the landlord's family are not too close. I do want to have some privacy and establish a bit of space that is mine and for me. That might be one of the biggest tests of cultural acclimitisation!ashramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372074132235819250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181244348660201528.post-58657141246530141592009-09-26T12:09:39.130+01:002009-09-26T12:09:39.130+01:00I know you will be incredibly busy, but I hope you...I know you will be incredibly busy, but I hope you have time to post pictures! I am anxious to see what your living quarters are like.

Hopefully somewhere to live will be sorted out and given Hilary's expereinces and how long it takes to get things sorted it will be interesting to see what I have managed to cook up for Christmas dinner, Hogmany & New Year's Day and birthdayashramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372074132235819250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181244348660201528.post-24917427552057807912009-09-26T10:57:12.049+01:002009-09-26T10:57:12.049+01:00I probably missed it here somewhere, Sheila, but w...I probably missed it here somewhere, Sheila, but when do you leave?Beejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613166306376742575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181244348660201528.post-9402876634869501012009-09-24T21:10:03.504+01:002009-09-24T21:10:03.504+01:00Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease!Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease!The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.com
