Sunday at Sarojini market
Sarojini market again. Our best market for shopping labled clothes.
Leya is bargaining. If they say 150 she says 500.
So funny!
Leya is trying a jacket.
We finally took a break and ate some warm corn with salt and butter.

Alex' sunday
Alex is recoloring clothes with some help from a coloring man in the street.
I bought this rainbow colored vintage shawl a few months ago and it was Alex', so I gave it to her.
She is so beautiful!
Late last night Alex had finished her packing. She went home to Sweden today.

Marianne has arrived!
Today Leya and I picked up Marianne at the airport.
She bought a pair of white pants in the same design as a pair she bought last time she was here, about 20 years ago.
Leya got a polar bear, that she named Emmi Pari, and we got magazines, candy and bearnaise sauce. Yummie!

The movie Tangled
Yesterday we went to see a movie. Leya's first.
Tangled (Trassel), the best film since the first Shrek.
This is before the movie.
This is after! Happy girl!
I'm amazed when they create a movie that appeals to both kids and adults.

The café
The problems are not over yet. They've stopped the renovations again since one of the nearby hotels were closed today.
They can't afford to risk to loose their hotel guests because of the renovations of the café and that is completely understandable.

Earthquake
We had a small earthquake the other night.
It felt like you slept next to a road and a big truck passed.
Strange, but not big enough for Leya and Nicholas to wake up.

Pari
Leya is now called Pari, angel in hindi, pronounced like Paris in French.
This photo is from the Christmas play in school and it shows Leya is really a pari.

Blankets/bedspreads
I found these fantastic blankets, or maybe bedspreads since they are 225 x 225 cm, in the bazar today.
Lovely texture and perfect for the whole family to hide under a chilly day.

Cushions for the café
Imagine these cushions on the cobalt blue rocking chairs.
A swedish touch since our flag is yellow and blue.
And these for the purple sofa.
