Tailpiece.

Got up around a quarter past 6, the chores and was ready by a quarter to 10. The maid had asked for a day off early in the morning.

The a/cs have been serviced and are ready for use during the warm months ahead. Nidhish, the service representative is a guy with good value system.

Helped Lekha in watering the plants.

Frequent power interruptions during the course of the evening were a cause of irritation!
