The Big party bus , oops Wedding transport

Hello Bloggers

Need some help on this one

What vehicle to pick for my daughters wedding?

Should it be a cool looking one from I want one of those ?




Maybye a trditional one in pink, very girlie for a Scotsman to get out of though


Or a love bug in pink, can have white too










Could even have the yank tank in pink or the flying squad for the rugged look
How about this just to let your hair get blown away , maybye not as again her dad's a scotsman and gets drafty in cornwall


Could of course go and save the planet by going green , even though these are red


Or perfect low cost solution to the big day , but with the hills around she might be late
Or how about one of these , although there normally is some natural pollutants
Well , any ideas out there in cyberland as there is just so much choice to spoil her with


Oh , its not one of these if you are thinking that Liz

Namaste

Mr Blenders

Hello Bloggers

Well, well what have we here then , someone that got a little sleepy in Berlin by the looks of it , though it could be anywhere . I understand this was the first boys party in advance of the one in Cornwall . Just lucky your mates only took a photo as could of been worse.



An old but funny one on global warming
Mr Blender says it should be called
"Men, how to tell a ladies age without asking"
Mrs P is apparently only xx at the moment but he says sometimes she is at least xx.
Please check the persons pulse and other visible signs of life, if you are with someone who is 207, 107 or even ? .
Check you own if its 27



Meanwhile whats the weather like today here in Delhi, 97 degrees and 75% humidity
Cool compared to the past weeks
The rain is not as bad as middle england has suffered , but it has flooded the slum over the road, very windy and blew a few roofs away , this is why all the bricks and junk is on the roofs there to begin with.
Everyone just gets back on with life when the weather subsides.


Mrs Pimms getting ready for the trip home to finish all the last minute panic stuff for the big day Mr B has to wait a little while for that and fit a short trip to the USA to visit old friends in Seattle Picking up another shiny Boeing for spicejet this time.
But he will miss all the security checks for the Seattle to UK trip in a private jet.

Meanwhile life goes on with the friends and shopping trips for Mrs P. Out looking a jewelry , gold and diamonds and clothes and shoes , prescription , stuff , and, and, and, and .

Mr B did another rendition of the "dogs they had a party and a passionate nationalist song" the other night at a little swarrie, sorry management meeting just outside Delhi, well 1hr outside Delhi. He's now searching for whats next, any ideas ?

Decent Corner

Well still melting and moist out here in Delhi and at last we found a "decent corner" in India
What a good address to live at.

Went to a little swarry last night and poor Mrs Pimms had too much lemonade with her Pimms
Was awake half the night with heartburn.
Mr B slept through till late, as he had too much wine, not used to it anymore so go easy on him when he's back for the BIG party in Sept

Both been to lunch today at a friends house in Delhi , all the family joined in
Pure Veggie followed up with a cold Ice Cream coffee.

A selection of South and North Indian foods laid out on the bed .
Curd, Sprouting beans, Idli, Dhal , Rice, Kidney beans , Paneer, Pooris, oh and some sweets
All not too hot for Mrs P
A credit to the master cook for putting on a big spread at lunch .
We sat on the bed munching away, Mr B in the cross legged pose and Mrs P all streched out
Forgot the camera so next time maybye

The monkeys and street cow even came along to say hello.

Just how many people can sit on a motorbike ?
Now I know Mr B's Dad had 5 people , but he did have a sidecar for the longer trips
Legally 2
Dangerous 3
Getting very dangerous 4
Downright stupid 5
Well

Have found this on the web and following the windscreen picture just thought everyone should see, yep keep counting.





Rickshaws next , they are everywhere and carry everything
as a cheap means of delivering anything

Found them all at a decent corner with a bit of surfing

Edinburgh Rickshaw for carrying people on thier own sofa







Delivery Rickshaw for covered or uncovered goods





What to do with your Children Rickshaw?
Actually its the school busshaw







Well thats it from us on this update

Namaste to you all.

Getting thinner and fitter

Hello Bloggers

Well I would never of thought that India would do us so good

PS: This is not Mr B or the gym instructor as I know what you are thinking
Mr B says he knows a few people like this though , perhaps you do 2
Just post who you think, as long as they never read this.


Been keeping track of this losing weight lark since we arrived last week it feels like
Well everyone has a goal to aim for after all

Start of the adventure
Mrs P = xx kgs, now a slimmer version at yykgs , how nice not to mention a figure says Mr B
Mr B = 118 kgs and just where have that 20kgs gone, some things have stayed the same though? He has to work on the six pack as only got a two pack at the moment

Well , just how do people do it
Delhi Belhi had a little play at the start , just adjusting to the different foods and water ( bottled)
Next comes the heat and humidity that adjusts our appetite
Having breakfast has helped Mr B, gets him through to his lunch of two bananas and a breakfast bar , no jordans out here, have to make do with the 250rps for eight bars of whats left on the shelf
Swimming, a few lengths of the pool , well 30 to 40 but its a small pool.
PSP, its the only golf game Mr B gets out here, well he reckons it keeps his fingers and thumbs fit !!!!
And last , the hard man in the gym, where would we be without Kristian
Now we both agree that having someone push you definately helps and our man certainly does that, he even does the strechie stuff and causes more pain whilst he does it
Dont think India has heard such screams and ohs and ahs from two gora's before as they all have a little giggle .
We do get the occasional "very strong Mary and Mr Neil" to make up for it .
Nothing compared to the weight he lifts , one day says Mr B, as his weights are increasing.
Hard man told Mrs P off today as she is not regular , missed a day , how guilty she feels!!!
Mr B wondering if the bribe was sufficient just to make her work extra hard before the trip home , he he

Mr B now on a mission, 3 kgs off in six weeks , not as easy as it sounds as only been managing 1kg every couple of weeks after reaching the magic 100
7kg to target and 14kg to the lower end of that , maybye next year but still proud of where he has got to and feels 110% better for it. You will have to try it out one day yourself

Lack of good bread for poor Mrs P helped , although we have just found out they sell it in the supermarket , Spencers in Gurgaon.
Bacon is not worth having so stopped buying it
No Beef apart from when we visit the expensive hotels when the urges get too much

We both seem to like the Indian Veggie places much better as very tasty compared with the stuff a UK person would call "Indian Meal ". Dosas , Thali , yum yum.
Now this would get the UK veggie brigade many points if they were to advertise it instead of soya yuck stuff

Still have chicken once or twice a week and to spoil ourselves, even bought it from the market butcher with doubts but we were ok afterwards , just cook it very well I say
Once a week Pizza delivery ,Hot pepper passion for Mr B and a Spring Fling for Mrs P.
No washing up for the housekeeper and Mr B takes the leftovers down for the guard , normally 4 slices and a couple of peppers left.
I think they know to expect it when Papa Johns deliver to F 603
Just keep wondering how many people just throw it in the bin?

Waste not want not out here in Delhi

Despite the trash everywhere, everything we throw out is recyled.
Housekeeper takes the bottles and papers and gets a few rps for them, food waste goes in a different bag to drop down the chute , cardboard is out with the papers.
Cockroaches clean up the kitchen, and the ghecko cleans up the cockroaches , seem to come out the sink drain, despite all we try .
Books, and we do lots of them here, are swapped, given away and borrowed in return , they are cheap here so don't bring any when you visit

Even saw a little snake tonight that thought would be useful in cleaning up the things but let it go as Mrs P might object

Well ramblings of the night over and have some bloggie stats for you all
60% of blogger readers to this site are from the UK
30% from India , all Delhi
9% from America
1% rest of Europe

Big Brother is watching you and please comment and flame as you know you want to

Namaste

Mr & Mrs Pimders

Ello blogger readers

Well
Nobody believe in black cats and walking under ladders today?
Nothing out of the usual has happened to us at least but we are sure the it will in the gym tomorrow, evil man he is who makes us work very hard

Still scorchio at a cool 91 today , temp we can manage its just the humidity at 84%
Mr B is just a puddle by the time the lift reaches the bottom floor , come to think of it so is Mrs P

Good alticle in the paper last week , a demo form a girl in her undergarments, shock and awe for the people round Delhi but it is a conservative society so understand that.

Mrs P is taking up with a bit more culture , visited a friends house and had tea and stickies and had to try the cross leg sit down on the bed , yep the bed she said. Sort of a BIG settee in an Indian house .
She only went for a shopping trip in Chandi Chowk, cycle rickshaw in the rain and two meals later. A very good experience of local culture everyone should taste
Indians are very friendly to the right ex pats out here, we are doing our bit in rtn by inviting some to see the western world , well middle england and a little of the cornish coast.
What will they think of cars only going one way and pedestrian crossings , mmm such an organised world

Ok a picture on just how popular soaps are out here during the
monsoon Please note Mr Indian is not a compulsive soap watcher , how usual is that.

That brings me onto TV , out here two film channels , BBC news , discovery, a couple of nature channels and VH1 for musac . Add, DVD's at £4 a shot and CD's ( Hindi music ) at £2 a CD, the wonderful internet with tv , myspace, youtube and radio what more could you want to be connected with the modern world.
BBC three counties has featured us a few times in the phone ins ,
Well they did ask where we did it and had to answer , in the ,computer room, living room , bedroom, bathroom, kitchen , hall, lift and in the car , listening to the radio all the time.
Well what were you thinking???
Its a small world people, and you just have to join in.

Well signing off with a funny just for you readers before our
300rps meal tomorrow , any potential hanibal's out there for item no 4 .
I dont think we fancy and not even sure if we wish to see it on the next table !!!





Namaste

The final countdown

Hello

Well counting down to the BIG day out.
Little Miss Pimms & Mr Paul tie a knot or two
Will be Such a good day

All this organising that has to be paid for by Mr Blenders is erroding away the bank account so donations would be greatly received.
Global warming is definately taking place in his account, its so hot
Never mind its only money

Just got to make sure the Pimms and Blenders are being served
for the one or two that will be coming along. Nice venue in Cornwall, right by the sea and we have the games on the lawn.
Well we will have to keep up with the staying fit or we will be in mortal pain when we get back out here.

Menu all sorted with plain old veggie or fish for the mains, pasties and the odd or two, glass of mead.

Quiet week and a lavish spend for lunch on Sunday at TGI Fridays.

Mr B also managed to catch a severe case of "Man Flue" as only men can catch and had to retire early most nights with drugs supplied by the local chemist.
Now there is a bonus to this drugs thing out here. Mrs Pimms asks for whatever, by its weird name and a man climbs the ladder in the chemist, to hunt out in the ice cream tubs upstairs . Once found, he lobs it expertly to the catcher below and they make the sale
Oh lets see now was that 20rps or 25rps a packet of these and the expensive ones are 300rps for 3 lots of a months supply. No Pharmacy person on site , just managers to practice their cricket throwing and catching. No wonder Indian's are good at their national sport, they use whatever they can to practice and on.
Now what would that be at home? 3 prescriptions and a few more £'s for the other stuff.
Have to move back to scotland where its free I understand


How about this for an inspiration to change, humour is alive and well in this blogalot.
One to save for the right moment as a fine little saying.





Another low cost airline is hitting the Indian skys , Kerela Airlines
advert , looks interesting, full service carrier, but doubt they will
be able to pick too many passengers off the competition , wonder
if its veg or non veg on the menu, bound to be a few dossa's and
a nice Thaili.
Apparently Hooch is served before you fly due to the coconuts
rolling around too much when they are discarded and
blocking the toilets.


Meanwhile low cost is really catching on in a different way with the Aircraft going right into town to pick up passengers, beats a limo eh!
Only takes another 3 months to get it back in a flight condition
so no threat there to the trains or the planes

They are currently trying to find the three rickshaw wallers
that ran off leaving it outside a row of shops somewhere in
Bombay.




Namaste

Mrs Pimders and Mr Blenms, hic, hic

A moist July 1st

Hello blog readers

The king of the road, just for somemone in Sage Close
Just like BMW you have to pay for all the extras
Wingmirrors, aircon, radio, power brake , traffic Police? ......................
You can have the curtains made very cheaply if thats your taste in cars .
1500 cc's of pure nostalga that suits the roads out here



July is just the same a June
Moist!!!
Been out for the habit forming weekend lunch, Mr Blender spent all of 24orps this time , but there was 3 of us so I guess that's why. Dosa's and a coke each
Never seen these in the UK , all veg of course as that's whats on most of the memu's

Not a great deal happening as we get into the slide of life out here
Usual , manicure, pedicure , fitness visits at the gym, pool and a little bit of shopping, oh and lets not forget the coffee mornings. Pretty tough life in the heat
Mr B's cooking skills are coming along nicely, with not too mean curry's, chippatis and Dhal all mastered. Not too mean as he has to take it easy on the chillie powder for Mrs P's tastes .

The local downstairs veg man gets a visit most nights for fresh supplies

Meanwhile , plans ongoing on baby Pimms big day out in Sept.
The speech writing has managed to cut it down to a mere 15mins so a little way to go, what can I leave out now.

All for the noo

Namaste
