Blankets
I've bought some soft blankets for the café.
I can imagine our guests sitting there with a large cup of tea wrapped in a warm blanket.

Alex and Frida
Alex and Frida came from Sweden last Sunday.
They are here to meet with the taylor about their spring and autumn collection of sweet dresses and tunics.
My mother-in-law had sent some Lohmander's original Bearnaise sauce with the girls.
This is the best sauce in the world!
And we had also wished for some Swedish candy.

Wooden furniture to the café
Our wooden furniture are almost ready.
I've decided to have two rocking chairs to see if our guests like smooth rocking as much as I do.
Imagine the furniture with an antique finish in cobalt blue.

Disaster!
The Indian government has sent a notice to more than 600 hotels that they are prohibited to do any renovations for 20 days.
This means we can't work on the café.
This is insane! Why?

New Years Eve
We ate dinner at Sam's restaurant, but there were so many drunk youngsters so we gave up after a while and ate our blueberry cake on the hotel roof top instead.

Shopping breaks
Resting a few minutes with some hot tea and good company.
It's been raining here for a few days now and the air is headache heavy.
A fresh pressed orange juice gave us some extra energy.

Our patchwork guest book.
Papier maché and mirror coasters.
Beautiful and a bit different lanterns for the tables.

Our bathroom and Cottage Ganga In
There is a leak in the house so they started to demolish our bathroom today.
We are travelling light as always. Not!
We left all our blankets for laundry since we are staying at the hotel, we cooperate with, for a few days.
Heaven! A soft bed, big enough for at least five persons.
At home we sleep on mattresses on the floor so this is luxury for us.

The opening of the café
The opening is postponed. I'm not surprised, but very disappointed.
I want the grand opening to be well organized and a big event with lots of guests, so what to do.

Sofas
Finally bought some vintage sofas for a bargain.
The sofas were delivered today and they placed them in the café that is so dusty that you hardly can see them.
Why put them there? Of course we moved them as soon as we got there.

Christmas buffé
The Christmas Day we spent at this restaurant at Connaught Place.
Fantastic food!
The best of all was that we didn't have to pay for the buffé.
We were in chock, it was like in a movie, but we think Leya charmed the owner when she said he looked like a prince.
