Back @ The Quarterdeck.

Our day had begun at 4, this morning. Went through the chores, recited my prayers and were ready by 6 though we, finally, cast off at a quarter past 6. Recited my prayers.

'Matha thekaoed' at the Randalummodu Nagaraja kshetram, topped up Crazy from a petrol bunk after  giving the short shrift to the usual bunk as Monish gave us negative observations on the quality of fuel dispensed there.

Breakfast at the Annapurna in Ettumanoor; met Jayakumar, IAS and spoke to him.

We reached The Quarterdeck by 1, had a lovely, simple lunch made by the maid on Lekha's directions. Sent Monish before that.

Siesta.

The evening chores.

Watched the serials; finished our squaring up work.
