Party frock 2
Party Frock 2009
We thought you’d like the pictures of Alison in her new party frocks (salwar kameez) as it’s her birthday. Interesting that Tamaris and Samantha had purrchased birthday jewellry that exactly match both and this a few weeks before any decision about the new outfits had been taken. Good hit, girls!
In the background of one photo you will see a hideous block of flats with 15% of one wall painted. Again like many things in India it remains unfinished. We offer constant prayers to the gods that the owner(s) will get on with it but know that it certainly won’t be touched until October at the earliest.
We can only hazard a guess as to why the work was started with much gusto and then suddenly abandoned. It’s probably because the co-operative of owners and tenants voted only Rs x/- to the cost and this was as much labour and paint it would purchase.
Also in the background is the national tree, which comes into bloom as monsoon approaches.
Well! We’ve had a great day with a splendid party in honour of a friend’s sixtieth last night.to kick it off. Martin’s turn in six days, but we’ll not show you him in his party frock… can’t have tongues wagging.
