Apologies for Absence

I've not been blogging for the last couple of days; at first my mother was on call at the hospital, which meant I couldn't use the phone line, and then my cousin Sudeep was here for a few days. We had a great time and I only wish he could have stayed longer. Will post photographs of his trips sometime soon. Thanks to the ever-faithful Arun, who kept asking for updates and Lachu, who's been pestering me to write. I'll do better from now on.
