Hello from Bangalore

Posted on by

I don’t know where to start this post from.

All I can really say is that it seems amazing that the place I called home last week, is no longer home. Our flat is slowly becoming the home we dreamt about. The address that pops out naturally has become the one here. I do not really miss anything from Leeds , well, the empty roads, sometimes, I guess :) but that’s about it. And husband. It would have been great if he could have moved with us – but hopefully he will be here soon.

What have we been upto? Shopping from morn to evening. Shopping for the flat, not us, but still, shopping is always fun :) Infact, I find shopping for the flat even more fun that clothes or shoe shopping. The only thing better is shopping for books -which we certainly had to do. We can’t cross Landmark without leaving our mark there, can we? We end our days with aching feet and eyes that shut the moment we hit the bed.

Daughter, I have to say, has been a star! She is out the whole day with me, and is pretty much content to tag along and help me with stuff, be it trying out sofas for comfort or selecting bed linen. When she gets bored, she finds a chair and reads the books we bring along with us. Sometimes, I have had to bribe her with a new book – but I really can’t complain.

Hopefully, we will be moving in to our home soon – fingers crossed, and will be calling all you guys I am yet to call. Just waiting to get the really urgent stuff out of the way. I’ve not started blog hopping yet- hopefully soon!

  2. Oh so the Blog Deva and Devi’s were actually listening to my prayers??? :roll: I have been begging them to grant you internet access ASAP. It’s not the same here without your posts you know :smile:

    Ohh I envy you for getting to shop for the home. I love doing that and as of now I don’t even have the energy to shop for diapers :cry:

    All the best in setting up the home and make sure you set up the computer corner first so that you can blog often like before.

    Ps: I have to bribe the boy with a book every single time I have to shop and he keeps the condition that I can shop in a place where he can find a cozy spot to sit :shock: :mad:

  19. Welcome home Smitha :) Shopping for home eh? Sounds awesome. And I always love shopping for interiors, though I mostly window shop because we stay at a small rented place. Do post your new done up home pics. And probably we can meet too. Happy happy. Much love to the very helpful Poohi.

  22. Nice Smitha, you are on your way to settling down! We too need to make a decision on getting back and I will be happy not to live my life in a transient manner – agonizing if I need new curtains or will my sun-bleached do for now, or do I need a hand mixer and a proper blender both? And these are just the small, inconsequential ones!!!

  23. All the very best. Settling down in a new place is a task of its own.
    And it’s very sweet of your daughter to be helping her mom with all this!! Kudos to the little one.

    And I am so glad to know that Poohie is adjusting well goes on to prove how easy going a child she is :)
    Waiting to read more updates :)
