Gaby and her friends
And then came Deepraj Danaikaj, Norbu T Bhutia, Lochan Gukung and Gaby. They really loved my interior design. Thanks guys!
But they missed a guitar, so I promised I will get one to next weekend.

Garbage
We have a garbage war with the old lady across the street. Here you can see that she has swept her garbage to our side.
Apparently her kids have left her there since she is so mean. Unusual for India, I must say.

Umbrella
The other day I bought outdoor furnitures and today it took four men half an hour to make the hole in the table for the umbrella.
This beautiful umbrella Leya and I bought in Jaipur.

Our first paying customers
I was the first paying customer since Nicholas made me pay for my daily Red Bull.
But our first paying customer outside the family was Miguel Villar from Argentina.
He was in Delhi for shopping and is leaving for Spain tonight.
He eat Nicholas tuna sub and ordered one more. Yeah!

Emergency kit
My favourite pharmacist is making an emergency kit we will keep in the café.
Paracetamol, tablets for migraine, vomit, lose motion, antiseptic Dettol and plaster.
A kit I think all restaurants should have.

The day before
Yesterday was the day before the small opening and Nicholas felling was:
Why, why, why?
Despite the heat he has a sense of humour.

Paper mess
When we came home yesterday our living room was transformed into a paper mess.
Angel had shredded a whole toilet paper roll.
Sometimes it's difficult to like her.

Sari toilet
I found these beautiful vintage saris at a filthy toilet in a warehouse in Main Bazar.
It can only happen in India.

Pool
After more than a year of searching for a pool we finally have found a roof top pool in our area.
Fantastic!
Fantastic!
Elevator sign
This is a hilarious sign in the elevator at the metro at Delhi Haat.
Who can be relaxed when the elevator is stuck?
And I love the FOUR phone numbers if option 1 or 2 doesn't work. Everyone knows no one is answering a land line in India.
At least they are apologizing in beforehand. So sweet!

Bling bling street
Our neighbour street was closed, so Leya and I took a look what was going on.
Here is the engine keeping this show running.
In the end was a temple for the Goddess Durga and the kids were very interested in Leya.

Still home
Still in Delhi in the heat and dust.
Nicholas has decided to open the café now, so the holiday has to wait.
And there was a huge riot last night. A celebrity guru started to hunger strike against the corruption and 50 000 of his followers joined him.
The police stopped the demonstration and arrested him. Eventually they released him and he went back to his ashram, that is located on the way to Rishikesh, if I'm correctly informed, so the traffic would have been heavy today.
Read more about it here.

Actress
Now we have a neighbour that is an actress.
Gaby got the part as Dr Eleonor Diggby and the script is full of long, difficult to say, dinosaurie names.
Congrats Gaby and don't forget us when you reach the top!

Fire
When we had sat down to eat lunch today, there was a lot of commotion outside.
It was a fire in the hotel next door, so we went to eat at another place instead.
