Hey guys this is gonna be short and brief, Skippy has now arrived in The Big B and so far have drank more in last 36hrs than in the last month, hhmmm never let it be said again that I am a bad influence on HER! It's wicked to now have someone to share the experience with, cocktails!! (oh and skippy.) Went and get her at 4.30am! monday morning, after she listened to be babble for 2hrs about all the stuff I've wanted to tell someone (poor girl half asleep no sleep on plane) introduced her to idili and pudrha for brekkie then left her to sleep as I went to immunisation clinic and made a room full of kids cry. Last night took her to the mighty purple haze (not as full of indian rockers as last time) then gorgeous dinner at restaurant Nargajuna and on to new pub Pecos. Wicked three storey place connected by spiral stair case with roof top terrace. Joined simon ski repair extrodinaire from Austria and Vic, local for few beers. Very funny they thought skips was some sort of t-totaler as she was drinking lemonade, corrected them that this was due to massive hangover from friday! Today hit the shops nutty style and bought half of bangalore. It's SO ridiculously cheap, we're even getting into this whole haggling thing. Wicked lunch in coconut groove, palmed terrace type place, where had their special! coconut cocktail (which pretty much consisted of coconut full of run and vodka. So if this makes b***** all sense blame that! Plan for rest of week includes me having my own child health clinic tomorrow (complete with prescribing-ekk), off to mysore thursday to saturday then down to trivandrum (capital of kerala) and our adventures have truely begun. Oh also was walking across room sunday and felt something land on head, felt for something as realised a hairy tailed mammal was disappearing down the back of my top. Proceded to click into histerical girl mode throwing of top, scrabbling hair out and jumping on chair in bra as mouse disappeared under wardrobe. Realising being complete t*** chased mouse out of room banging plastic bottles. Randomly mate also had squirrel fall on her head and then break a tooth of her childhod endocrine diseases textbook. Lesson learnt when in India watch out for falling rodents Okay so not so brief but will update in Mysore, Skippy appears to have swallowed the lonely planet of South of India so new feature... Skippy's random Indian fact of the city. The name bangalore is derived from 'the city of boiled beans' due to india's answer to jack and the beanstalk, however beans continue to be one of the biggest city exports. Wish the kids good luck who I treat tomorrow Love to everyone waf xxx
