I'll just leave be the disturbing trivia and try to succinctly describe 'the weekend we were rained in.' The forecast and the skies were bleak, bleak, bleak. Bleak has a colour - the dreariest of grey.
But, beyond the colourless skies lay the most beautiful sight, that of the clouds lifting from the hills some distance away. I did sit there mesmerised at the wonders and subtlety of nature, not also because I was really, really full and could barely move!
I drank in the viivd greens and delighted in the dance of the rain drops. Very zen-like and uplifting...
...till I focused on the droplets on the lights hanging since Christmas last. blah!
Did I tell you we have a new pet - a German Shepherd pup that is called 'Blackie' by the daughter and 'Doggie' by the son.
Hope you all have a lovely week ahead and I better think of working off the calories I gained just sitting and eating.
But, aren't the greens just so divine and refreshing!!

Your weekend sounds so lovely! I'd love to sit with a plate of cookies and watch a movie :-))
And congrats on your new pet...and new photo op too :-)
We used to have a sheep dog at the orchard called Blackie when we were kids. He was killed by the leopard in the forest above the house one year. He was a fiesty and fun dog!
And how sweet that your kids call him different names :-) He's going to be a confused doggie :-)
Indrani - thanks yaar! I'm glad there is someone with whom I can share dog-teething troubles now ;)
Shalini - lol! well, a little over three months ago, you might have done just that, sat with a plate of cookies and watched a movie.... must seem like ages ago now!
the doggie is confused and mischievous and sometimes the cutest, slobbiest and warmest thing around :)
good luck by yourself in Dubai :)
