It's Chrysmas time!

The twin cherry blossom trees at the entrance of the drive have shed their leaves completely. Any left on the pavement have also been blown away by the strong wind we have been seeing lately. It's rained throughout the night and this morning we have had bouts of heavy Mumbai-monsoon-type rain alternating with thunder, drizzles, reluctant sunshine and gray clouds. And it is not even 11 am yet.

Mr R is at work, even though he's battling a fever. I, on the other hand, do what I do on my beloved Fridays - write, clean and put my life back into order for the coming week. I was meant to go down to the town centre, but with inconsistent weather like this, I am still 'thinking' about it. In the meantime, there's notes to be made, the vacuum to be used, an overnight bag to be packed.

The Cherry Blossoms may be bare, but spring is in my step today. It's Chrysmas time!
