It's not everyday when we get to hold hands and walk on the road together , but when we do, you can rest assured that I will make a whole photo shoot out of it !
: )
Our car's broken hence the walking.
We set off, and the first two people we see are fish sellers. Two people selling fish the old fashioned way, on foot.
Then we encounter a little truck with a little banner that says they'll come right to your doorstep and polish your brassware. They are stationed in front of a neighbor's house with all their traditional brassware out on the side of the road with water and soap and some kind of machine that make the items shine ! Smaaaaile ! 😀
Then off to Darling's aunt's house.
This house. It fascinates me. And I realise that when a house is lived in for so long, it acquires certain qualities, that makes it immensely romantic to look at. I loved their house and their quirky windows and all the vintage things I could see in the house.
I am fascinated by other people's homes. :S
I love the house we live in ( Thank you FIL for making a dream come true ) but we've only lived in it for such a short time , everything I do to decorate it, looks actually brand new. Even if my style is old fashioned, I still can't muster the effortless charm that comes naturally with living in one place for far too long. I worry about things like time, when there won't be any left of it and I would not get to do what I want to do to complete the dream that is the house we live in. But I digress. Here are some photos I shared on instagram from our visit.

Phone Manners 101 – And Why It's So Important!
6 Feb
Greetings everyone!
Thank you for the great feedback on my last post. I know you need some help again, so please read this new post. Thanks 🙂
Just because we're blessed with advanced communication technologies does not mean we can forget about manners!
I saw my friend Irene the other day and we shared coffee and stories at the local Starbucks over at Lakewood Road. Anyway she seems so frustrated that smart phones seem to have made many men forget common courtesy and good manners. I added that I sometimes feel the same way about some women as well. It almost seems like phones embolden people into saying some really impolite things just because the distance means you can't slap them silly for being so rude. I am glad we met because phone calls and internet chats cannot really replace old fashioned face-to-face bonding between friends; and also because it made me realize we feel the same way about the need for phone etiquette.
In this day and age, where phones can practically do anything for us, we tend to forget the boundaries that lie between accessibility and courtesy. This is especially true about phone and internet chat courtship! Men call whenever they please, text whatever they want, and just say whatever the hell they like to the ladies who've caught their fancy.
That is certainly not gentlemanly! A true gentleman knows the how's, the why's, as well as the when's of proper phone use, especially when it comes to communicating with women. And that includes every form of phone – from its ancient wired great grandfathers to the very modern smart phones.
Phone etiquette tips
Here are some smart and gentlemanly tips on phone etiquette.
Do ask ahead when it is okay to call. Seriously, that's what makes text more convenient! Unless you're trying to catch your girlfriend in a lie, you certainly need to have the courtesy to ask the lady you're courting when it is convenient for her to receive a call from you. She may actually have a real life to consider, you know!
Don't leave a woman waiting for your call. So you said you're going to call and you never did. That's just lame and one of the biggest reasons why women distrust men so much. If you're not going to call, if you don't have any plan whatsoever of going on another date with her, don't make an empty promise to call her.
Don't text someone else in the middle of a conversation – whether with a lady or not. And unless it's really, really, really important, don't forget to excuse yourself. This goes out to doing smart phone stuff (aka social media shenanigans). Guys, check out these online dating tips.
Do keep your phone conversations at a decent hour. So you want to talk to her and you're missing her badly in the middle of the night. Oh and you just can't stop the urge to call her just to hear her sweet voice. Well one thing: stop that urge immediately. It would be selfish and rude to actually disturb her restful sleep just because you miss her. Sounds sweet but when you've been woken abruptly in the middle of your sleep, nothing's sweet about it.
Do avoid calling her while she's at work (or at school if she's a student – which I hope she isn't). Respect mans knowing when it is appropriate to call and when it isn't – when you can disturb her personal affairs. That is why we all go back to Rule No. 1 – always ask if it's a good time to call.
Don't flood her phone with texts when she does not text back (or at least does not text back too soon). Oh the impatience of an enamored man! She wouldn't love getting a thousand texts from you just because she was in the bathroom doing her thing.
Remember these things and make your mothers proud, boys!

Okay Here is the Supermoon in India. Can somebody please tell Star News not to go so blah about this phenomenon?
Bit off centre but its pristine white quality is pretty.
The camera shook when i took this shot. It looks like a meteor or probably a very ugly sperm.

Love her or hate her, Mrs Thatcher's recent passing has certainly stirred up a hornets nest of debate around the world.
She certainly left a legacy, some good things and some bad things, but what was her contribution to the construction industry and UK housing in general?
Are we in a better position because of what she did, or did her policies at the time make things worse?
What are the lasting effects of the Thatcher years on today's housing?
Certainly many people in the UK would be thankful of the fact that the Iron lady sought to massively increase home ownership in the UK, and the "Right to buy" scheme, which was an initiative which was actually started in the 1970's in London by the then GLC. Mrs Thatcher simply rolled that out nationally in the 1980 housing Act.
The right to buy scheme
The sale price of council houses were based on the properties market value at the time, but the added bonus was the fact that it included a heft discount for tenants, also based on the time that had lived in the house.
Sounds great but of course to avoid speculators, the stipends were the fact that if the new owners suddenly decided to sell up and move home after acquiring it as their own, they would have to pay the discount back to the government.
The right to buy was a very popular scheme and in 1982, only 2 years after the scheme was rolled out, around 200,000 people had already bought their local authority house, with the proceeds of the sales going directly to local government, although many citizens outside the scheme failed to see the benefits as much of the funds went against paying debts off, a legacy from the previous labour administration and the collapse of the economy during it's tenure.
By 1987. the amount of people who had bought their own home in this scheme rose to over a million houses, although this slowed down considerably at the end of the 1980's.
A knock-on effect was there was far less council housing and local authorities did not replace the properties, preferring to look to housing associations and the private sector to house social tenants.
A problem for tenants in private rented housing was the introduction of the Assured short hold tenancy in the housing act 1988 which meant that a tenant had only 6 months assurance that they would be able to live in a house and gave powers to landlords to easily and legally dispose of tenants and I myself have been the victim of this in my student days, for the only reason being the house had risen in value so much during only 6 months of my stay, the greedy landlord decided to sell and make a fast buck!
A positive effect, in theory, for local authorities is the fact they did not have to spend so much of their budget on maintaining council owned houses.
So what about the people who bought these houses?
For many people, being able to own their own home was a dream come true, thanks to Mrs Thatcher, and there was certainly a positive effect on the building and home improvements industry during that time as new owners sought to customise their houses to make them stand apart from council owned houses in the same street.
Typical home improvements at the time were:
- A new front door, often a UPVC one.
- Double glazed windows
- A new driveway or garden landscaping
- Altering the wall coverings with exterior wall coatings, paint, pebbledash or stone cladding.
- New interior features such as a new bathroom or kitchen.
- A satellite dish, and for some, their first phone line!
Many people were very excited at being able to own their own home, and that is a positive effect left over from the thatcher years, however things have changed since then.
Social Housing today
Social housing today is largely managed by private social landlords or not for profit organisations, and overseen by the Homes and communities agency in England and Wales.
Home ownership grew from 55% of the population in 1980 to 64% in 1987. By the time Margaret Thatcher left office in 1990 it was 67%.. Source: Wikipedia
2005 saw changes to the act and tenants were required to have lived in the home for at least 5 years in order to qualify to buy, however the housing market had changed, houses had risen in price, in some cases, to unrealistic levels, and people were just not buying houses any more.
Too many people had bought a house as an investment rather than a home, and with mass immigration thanks to Tony Blair, the UK press seems to go on and on about how little housing remains, and the ridiculous price of renting or buying today.
As of 2 April 2012 the Right to Buy discount has been increased to a maximum of £75,000 or 60% of the house value (70% for a flat) depending on which is lower, indicating the current situation whereby the value of homes has risen so high, no one can implement a similar scheme even if they wanted to and we are left with part rent/part buy, which is hardly as good and still means the house is not truly yours.
Thatchers legacy for the UK building industry.
The boom years of the 1980's were quite good for the construction and home improvements industry and David Pretty, the then CEO of Barrat homes said of the right to buy scheme……
……[the] Right to Buy had been a "double-edged" sword, which made households more prosperous while at the same time contributing to today's crisis in housing and the shortage of social stock.
So not everyone thought it was a good idea and although the housing boom was good for many, it was bad for many others too.
For those in new bought council homes, the sky was the limit, but that left many other people unable to access social housing due to a reduced stock, plus increases in rents and home values marginalised people into poor quality accommodation.
The Thatcher era was a period of sharp public spending cuts, reductions in investments on major things such as railways, schools, roads and universities, however she was praised for her determination to push some major infrastructure projects ahead such as the channel tunnel and other public works that came to distinguish her from her predecessors.
Private finance initiatives
Mrs Thatcher brought in several projects around the UK that were essentially the forerunner of PFI and John Major sought to increase that in 1992, which was then expanded further under Tony Blair after 1997, however, the down side is that much investment was placed in risky schemes, and now much of construction that was created under the PFI schemes are hopelessly mismanaged and in debt.
These schemes continue to this day and are certainly a legacy of Thatcherism that many people are not happy with. So what about the bad bits?
Thatchers policies in industry for example, saw whole towns decimated with the closure of coal mines and factories and the UK ceased to be a manufacturing base, and we saw a rise in imports of goods and materials, made abroad and supposedly cheaper, intent on a benefit to our economy, however this was not the case, and many towns and cities saw a dramatic decline, with the "haves" and the "have nots" being a benchmark for the Thatcher years.
Margaret Thatcher brought home ownership in reach of a lot of people, but the policies at the time then sharply reduced the amount of social housing being built, pushing up private rents through demand and excluding the needy, something that social housing had sought to eradicate, now turned about face, and in essence became part of the problem in itself.
Whatever your opinion of Mrs Thatcher, her legacy is here to stay, good or bad, and with the current economic gloom, maybe it is time to rethink the mistakes of the past, to ensure they do not happen in the future.

Best Aussie Vans Finalist 2015 Concept Innovation 630RCLX-B Oz Pack Test Review
Safe, well-built and full of charm, the Concept Innovation 630RCLX-B Oz Pack is as exciting as they come.
Quite simply, the 6.3m (20ft 8in) Innovation is jam-packed with features and that was strikingly evident as it posed in all its glory during the recent Best Aussie Vans event at Bairnsdale, Vic.
It didn't land the major gong in the $65K-$80K category but, in my eyes, it certainly came up trumps in the styling, comfort and convenience stakes. The interior is spacious and vibrant, while the exterior has numerous practical inclusions. All in all, I thought it represented exceptional value for money.
The Innovation 630RCLX-B Oz Pack is a good illustration of Concept's proactive philosophy to produce innovative caravans with spacious interiors and luxurious features. And it also reflects Concept's investment in the latest technology to create flawless designs. It is sleek and stylish from the outside, and once inside the quality and class is also undeniable – cementing Concept's reputation for precision and attention to detail.

Concept also offers an extensive range of options to enable customisation, such as a wide variety of internal colour finishes, 4mm Perspex splashbacks, Hella 12V oscillating fans, Fusion sound system, Drifter battery and water monitoring system, a Truma gas/electric hot water system with integrated gas heating, a Waeco reversing camera, auto-positioning satellite system, Al-Ko electronic stability control, a Fiamma bike rack fitted to the rear wall, a slide-out to suit a Honda EU20i generator, water filter and tap, a grey water tank, and an external gas outlet.
In terms of safety, it boasts a lockable security door, Al-Ko electric brakes to all wheels, Breaksafe breakaway system, and a gas regulator. And the Innovation has all the necessary nuts and bolts – SupaGal chassis with 150x50mm main chassis rails, 235R15 tyres with alloy wheels, pull-out door step, and a rear bumper bar with a mounted spare wheel.
External features include a black Perspex front window protector shade, TV entertainment box with marine speakers, and the high checkerplate front, lower sides and tail lamp panel. There's also dual 95L water tanks with galvanised sheet metal protection and drain tap, a common outlet for all waste water, a fold-down picnic table, and a water tap fitted to the extended 150x50mm A-frame.

To mix clay and sand thoroughly, the former should first be pulverized completely when dry and the mixture sifted over the court carefully and uniformly. The next step is wetting and rolling, and more rolling and moistening until lastly the whole is enabled to dry and is prepared for play. The slight irregularities and roller ridges that often appear in a court will soon be worn off by the players' feet, but playing of course will not change the grade. A brand-new court will be significantly improved by use, however no one ought to be allowed on a court other than with rubber-soled shoes. Heeled shoes will soon destroy a court, and it is bad practice even to enable any one to stroll over a court unless with appropriate soccer shoes.
Leveling The Playing Court
The initial leveling of a court can be accomplished with a rake and a straight-edged board, but after the clay has actually ended up being packed and hard it will be needed to utilize considerable force in removing the inequalities. A metal cutting edge, such as a hoe or scraper, will be found helpful. A court needs to be swept with a coarse broom to distribute the fine product evenly. Another very good sweeper can be made from a piece of wood about 6 or eight feet long to which several thicknesses of bagging have been added or attached. The last action in making a court consists in marking it out.
Given that many courts are marked so that they will be suitable either for songs or doubles or two that either 2 or four individuals can dip into a time. Where tape markers are to be utilized, the proper ranges will appear on the tape without measuring, however if lime is utilized for marking a careful outlining will be essential to protect the correct ranges, after which the corners ought to be suggested by angle irons, so that the court might be re-marked at any time without re-measuring. Remember that artificial turfs from reputable artificial grass suppliers are almost totally free upkeep surfaces, and will save you money and time at long last.
As a guideline it is better to dig away for a court rather than to fill in, as we therefore obtain a better bottom and one that will require however little rolling. The last emerging of a court is done by ways of clay and sand in the proportion of about 4 or five to one, the clay of course being in excess. A new court will be significantly improved by use, but no one must be enabled on a court other than with rubber-soled shoes. Heeled shoes will soon mess up a court, and it is bad practice even to enable any one to stroll over a court unless with correct footwear.
When you mean in planting Bermuda lawn, here are friendly tips.
The potential grass need to be initially free from all other sort of weeds along with plants that are purposely for there. Make sure that the soil is likewise disked for it to be loosened up.
Planting Bermuda yard ought to have to be a rate of 0 to 1 pound of seed in ever thousand square foot. For both spring and summer season seasons, use the hulled kind for germination but when it is late fall and winter times, select the irony. Ryegrass that appears all year round will cause hold-up however there are cases that it can be for defense and cover.
It actually depends on the rate of cover needed, 25 or more bushels per 100 square feet makes it more thicker. Remember that it ought to be transferred to a clean seedbed and pushed into a soil that has been moistened through a roller.
Fertilizer is quite essential in planting Bermuda turf. It is differentiated by soil tests and joined into the soil during the preparation of the seedbed. The nitrogen kind can likewise be used to the soil surface area straight following the period where a rate of 1 pound per 100 square feet has been attained. It actually permits a large selection in soil response however it is wonderfully done at a pH level of 6.5 to 8.0. Limestone must be included depending on soil assessment if it is listed below the figure.
It may have sharp blades however over the years, planting Bermuda grass has actually stayed to be one of the gardener's leading choices.- Installing http://bestartificialgrass.com/synthetic-grass/ doesn't need to have to be a rate of 0 to 1 pound of seed in ever thousand square foot.- Fertilizer is extremely much essential in planting Bermuda lawn. It is identified by soil tests and signed up with into the soil during the preparation of the seedbed.

Rudest Employee's ever *Never AgainFlag review
We took the kids here during Spring Break that was our first mistake. It was so crowded we waited hours to get on slides. Almost every employee had an attitude from the towel washers to the cashiers we had rude service the whole time. I felt as if they did not value our business and we were another number there. The food inside the hotel sucked and and wait service was terrible. The cashiers were very immature and it seemed like all of the restaurants lacked any kind of management or customer service skills. Everything from check in to eating to getting a locker at the pool was unorganized. We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge down the street a few years before and had a much more pleasant experience.

Temperatures in Gold Coast, Sydney And Melbourne in January
by Rajnikant Worah
(Ahmedabad India)
What will be the temperatures in Gold Coast, Sydney And Melbourne in January
We are senior citizens (68 years) we like temperatures around 15°C.
Would January be right time of year to visit Melbourne, Sydney and Gold Coast?
Please advise about places to visit and hotels as well as flight bookings.
A lot to answer, but I will try! Firstly, January is our summer in Australia, so it does get very hot in the three cities you mention. Whilst the Gold Coast is hot and humid at that time of the year the temperatures get up to late 20°s C and early 30°s Celsius (or Centigrade) which is around 85° Fahrenheit, and rarely falls much below 20°C or around 70°F.
Sydney and Melbourne are less humid, but they can have temperatures into the late 30°s and early 40°s Celsius which is around 100+°F.
From what you say you prefer, I think this would not be a good choice of month to visit Australia.
I always encourage my parents to visit Australia anytime from March through to October - but if you like the cooler temperatures then I would further suggest narrowing it down to between May and September.
I cannot suggest exact flights for many reasons, but I will say you are best to fly directly into either Melbourne or Sydney and get a side trip to Gold Coast.
Here are a few ways you could structure your trip:
- Fly from India to Sydney. Fly Sydney to Gold Coast, Gold Coast to Melbourne and either fly out of Melbourne to India, or fly back to Sydney and then Sydney to India.
- Fly from India to Melbourne, Melbourne to Sydney, Sydney to Gold Coast and then fly back to Melbourne and return to India.
There are many options for hotels! It is going to depend on what you like, what your budget is and when you are visiting.
As for things to see and do around Australia? I have put together a few ideas of some of the main attractions around Australia have a look at those and then you can get an idea of some of the things to see and do.
I am sorry I cannot be more specific, I hope that has helped, however, if you have any other questions please contact me via my email.

My right hand is cramping - why you ask? Because I spent an entire hour this morning writing 20 post dated cheques and signing 20 permission forms in 3 different places. Ah yes, the day she has been waiting for - BRACES.
My 14 year old daughter has an overbite. From the very moment the dentist mentioned braces she has been anticipating the adhesion of these metal hinges glued onto her teeth. Really excited even.
I on the other hand have been dreading the financial aspect.I will end up paying a total of $4300. Which was actually the lowest of the quotes I got.
I don't really mind of course, because it's all part of the job - I do however think I should have gone into the dental field.
So cheers to braces - and empty pockets!
A factual account of my daily encounters with self celebration, interesting adventures, overly obsessive fitness goals, new teenagers and stupid people.

Here's a random interesting fact. I had braces put on in India. The orthodontist was trained in the States and is part of the American Orthodontic Association (or whatever it's called). All his equipment is from the States. All the material he uses brackets, wires, glue etc, is from the States. My treatment lasted two, maybe three, years... The total cost? 500 USD...ReplyDelete
Wow. I hate that! Not for you of course..ha!ReplyDelete
