Our day began at 4, this morning, we went through the chores and were ready by a quarter past 6. Monish, our sa'arathi came in by a half past 6 and we set off soon after. Were helped in loading the car by our caretaker.
Stopped at the Nagaraja kshetram at Randalummoodu as is our normal custom.
His younger son, Aniyan had fetched up from Saudi Arabia earlier in the morning and he, too, had dropped by to meet us and take our blessings. He should be with his folks over the next 45 days! He has got much of the family's debt cleared with his earnings and looks after his parents.
We'd shaped our course toward the Sri Parthasarathy temple at Aranmula, where Lekha wanted to do the "matha thekoing" and we'd a wonderful darshan by about 8. Had breakfast soon after.
The drive was fine and we passed Ponkunnam, Perumbavoor, Muvattupuzha vis Thrissur.
Lunch was had at the Gokula Nandana, 9 km north of Angamali.
Reached The Quarterdeck by 4 and the opening up of the house, unpacking and seeing off our sa'arathi were quickly done without delay.
It was a quiet evening when we watched our favourite serials on television.
Tailpiece.
It rained at Guruvayur around 7.
