Calling Earth

Thursday - On Tues night, did another marathon hike into the centre of Delhi on the quest for our evening meal. EVENTUALLY found the elusive and allegedly re-located exotic establishment which, in English, translated into Pizza Hut.... At least the prices were a quarter of those in the UK.
Thursday morning, after more painting,we had a time of fellowship and prayed with some of the people of Tigri. Quite humbling. Various issues of concern. Alcohol causing problems and family disruption here just as in the West. Lorrie and I went for a guided walkabout in some of the lanes, calling on various people, mostly mum's with babies. Plenty to make one think and evaluate the importance or non-importance of the trappings of our material world. Sounds like a song coming on - I'll chat to my fellow pentagarian, Madonna.
Lorrie is chuffed as she finally found evidene of Health and Safety in India! A label on an Indian-made toy that claims NO SHARD EDGES. Might be safe enough even for me to play with.
Stu, Dick and I are suffering Red Alert withdrawal symptoms, but we shall only have to endure cold turkey for another one week, two days, 7 hours and 53 minutes - not that I'm counting!!
Lerv to all in Yeovil and Bristol, etc.
