Back at The Quarterdeck.

Got up at 4, went through our chores and were ready by 6 but quite a few small things perked up at the last moment that by the time we kicked off on our journey, it was a half past 6. Our first stop was at the Nagaraaja kshetram at Randalummoodu, as usual. Drove till the road transport corporation's service station and handed over the Chevy to Monish.

We had a darshan of the Kottarakkara Maha Ganapati, walked around the temple and resumed our journey. Had dropped in at Lekha's sister, Letha's place to hand over the mangoes collected from my compound. Had our breakfast at the Padma Cafe at Changanaasserry. It took a lot of time as the service was found to be wanting.

Reached The Quarterdeck by 2, sent Monish back and had a lovely lunch made by the maid. Siesta.

The evening chores, Rejith was called in to hand over the clothes for dry cleaning.

A quiet evening thereafter.

Tailpiece.

The Assembly elections to West Bengal (1st phase) and Tamilnadu took place today registering a 92.5% percentage in the former and 85.6% in the latter. The results should be interesting!
