ice skating hare krishnas
sorry for the long absence - family and then work have dominated over the past two weeks.
I spent a lovely relaxing weekend up in Rishikesh and Haridwar again with Dad and Pip, who have returned home in a haze of heat and sweat, and I'm now back at the slog at work. DTE is working me nice and hard, reaching the levels of slave labour earlier last week when I worked a whopping 28 hours in two days. I'm in bright and early today to finish off a report and an interview page, so all is going well. I haven't too much to report, really, other than the usual - it's sticky still, we seem to be going to a party every night (these French friends of ours just don't stop) and I finally learnt to ice skate on Sunday, after a brief visit to the Iskcon temple to see the Hare Rama Rama Hare Krishna Rama Krishnas.
Time is sliding away very, very fast - so much that I was faintly shocked to get Lou's email asking about visa references. Eek.
I will open this to the floor - for my last two week's travelling, should we go on a religious tour of the North - Amritsar, McLeod Ganj and Rishikesh - or should we go to Mumbai, then some beaches? I am entirely torn.

well I guess you could go to some beaches anywhere amd you would probably be mobbed by lots of indian mens as you sunbathed so I would say do the religious tour of the north :)
Mumbai has collapsible buildings so if you go there take a hard hat. Perhaps you could go to Goa dressed as a nun?
Whatever you do, I suggest it be a real HOLIDAY for you (and Louise). E.g. stay in hotels with plumbing and relax.... I think Goa is a beach/sunbathing sort of place, but perhaps only the resort hotels ? I'll ask Steve and Loraine. Please give your liver a break sometime.
I say go north - hindu and sikh religious places are not that common in other parts of the world - and besides, you never know when karma could in useful!
i think i'm definitely leaning towards the north. also, himalayan lakes are likely to have less lascivious men! (lascivious sadhus?)
daddy, i am not drinking anymore because it's too hot. and plumbing is for wusses.
i got an email today from one of P&G's support staff saying that my "request" for leaving P&G had been approved.
now my administrator had requested this on my behlaf (without warning me) - and it sure brings back to focus how little time I have left!!
you say faintly shocked - i prefer the word jeepers! :)
nicki, i just saw a production of the Wizard of Oz in Newcastle....and oh my god, my eyes are burning. Read my blog for details - but golly gee whiz, it was terrible. Its something you need to see to believe - its that bad.
I also saw Henrys show in the Fringe - that was AWESOME. They do a return in Mich 2005 - you have to go see it. Its called the Threepenny Opera, and its awesome.
have you ever thought sadhus might be a lot more lasci- well the long word you used that beings with l - given they have to be celibate and all. :-)
but yeah i definitely say north!
