It's been 16 years!

Sixteen years without Bruno, our Doberman! Lekha and I've still not been able to get over his loss. His delightful capers and naughty outbursts with abundant love for the both of us is very much fresh in our minds. RIP Bruno! We'll wish Renu - the youngest daughter of Bunty and Babli, our helps stay at New Delhi - many happy returns tomorrow as I'm sure that it's our pet in his new avatar!

                  Body Parts As Verbs.

Many parts of the body can be used as
verbs in either a physical or a
metaphorical sense.

A good leader backs his employees,
but if you don't toe the line you might
get skinned.

Did you muscle your way into that
job?

You might eye someone suspiciously
or wait for the police to finger a 
suspect.

But if you need to get out of town, try
thumbing a ride.

You can ride with me if you can
stomach the thought.

I don't always sing along with the
radio, but you might see me mouthing
the words.

Amazing English!


Tailpiece.

We'd got up with the alarm, gone through our chores and were ready well in time. Annie came in at her usual time and went away after four in the afternoon.
