Crocs
I bought good quality crocs for Leya today.
I'm tired of cheap shoes that breaks after a few days.
She was so happy and grateful for the Princesses.

Garden
Today Leya and I visited a friend who lives in Gurgaon with her family.
They have a small, but peaceful garden with lovely plants, statues and blue furniture, my favorite blue shade.
A heavenly mix!

Tricia Guild
I love Tricia Guild's designs!
She actually manages to combine colors with white in a way that works for us who loves colors and for people who loves white and shabby chic.

Bat
Nicholas has told me about a bat attacking him at night when he is outside smoking.
Today he told me that the bat only does his fly overs on Saturday nights.
Maybe the bat is working hard during the week days and scaring Nicholas for fun is his weekend relaxation.

Today's catch!
This sweetheart accidentally bumped into Nicholas in the living room last night.
I wonder who was most afraid. Frankly, I'd guess Nicholas.
Now he is happily running around on a dump.
The rat that is, not Nicholas. He is watching football.

Chicken
Today Nicholas bought a chicken for dinner and it was some guts left, so I had a biology lesson for Leya about the heart, lungs and other vital organs.
Nicholas was not amused, but Leya was as curious as only kids can be.

A simple life
I've also learn to enjoy the simple things in life.
Today we went to the neighbor street and I had two puppies sleeping in my lap, Angel was playing with her friend Johnny, Leya was playing badminton with a boy who lives in the street and the sun was shining just perfectly.
At that time I enjoyed life enormously.

Think positive
After 5,5 years since my massive breakdown I have worked hard to see positive on life.
Today's issues to handle:
1. The fridge is broken.
Lucky it's winter and as cold indoors as in a fridge.
2. Nicholas' computer is broken again even though we have repaired it four or five times the last months.
Lucky we at least have one computer.
3. I have to pay a large amount of personal taxes in Sweden in March.
Lucky it's only January and a lot can happen in two months.
PS! This is not irony.

Dog killers
Yesterday I yelled at a boy that hit a dog very hard with a stick over the back. I was furious!
Today I saw an old van that looked like a prisoners van, but on the side it said something about dogs and I saw two men getting in the van with long sticks with ropes meant for catching dogs.
I realized immediately it was a government van going around the city to catch and kill street dogs.
I ran into the van och there sat five chocked men. I tried English, but no one understood and then I said dog in Hindi, one of the few words I manage, and they said No, so I assume the people in Dwarka Mor was warned and hid the dogs.
Very good!

Sponge cake
Today Leya made her first sponge cake.
Homemade sponge cake is a traditional Swedish cake.
As you can see in the background we have a pet baby gorilla.

A dead rat
A very proud Angel just after killing a huge rat on my side of the bed.
Rats are not my favorite animal.

LifePositive
Today Leya and I visited the office of LifePositive magazine that has an edition of 120 000 magazines every month.
Hopefully they will write an article about Prana nail mat. Keep your fingers crossed!
Read the netmagazine here.

Good to know!

Happy Diwali!
Happy Diwali dear friends all over the world!
Here in Nepal we celebrate the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi.
She stands for wealth, prosperity (both material and spiritual), light, wisdom, fortune, fertility, generosity and courage; and the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm.
We are doing Puja in Tara's shop. Puja is a ritual when you worship the Goddess, give some money and eat sweets.

Money attack
We wish!
It was a monkey attack and someone wrote this on a pillar at one of our favorite restaurants, Metro.
Hilarious!

Monkey attack! 1-0 to Leya!
The monkey had no chance snatching her new bag.
Then she borrowed a slingshot and tried to get even, but it was more dangerous for us than the monkeys.

Pashupatinath temple
We are visiting the temple and river where the Nepalese people are cremating their loved ones.
For us this is very different since, at least in Sweden, death is not a natural part of life.
We seldom talk about death and because of that the sorrow is even worse.
Most people don't even believe in a life after this and because of that the death is very definitive.
When someone dies we have a ceremony in church and then the body is either cremated in a special house with no one present or buried in the graveyard.
Leya and I are watching how family and friends are saying their good byes and the temple people are preparing the old woman.
At this temple they are not cremating pregnant women or children below the age of five.
Everything is handled very dignifying and even we find the cremation like a part of life.
