Merry Xmas from the beach

Hi xmasbloggies
Xmas smiling camel for you , right out of the desert
Well a field near the desert , on his way with 3 wise men



Mr BIG E and the 6 santa's just to get in the spirit in F603





Well its nearly that time of the year again and guess what?
Another beach trip on to unwind and recharge the duracells, for another new year
And for Mr Blenders to meet the team again in Goa
Now in Jamaca, Santa did the canoe bit to the beach and mrs Pimms sat on his knee, wonder what we are in store for in Goa? So long as we keep her away from the woo woo's!!!!!

Been mostly working this week for mr Blenders, whilst Mrs Pimms gets off shopping
Its a pretty good doing that out here, shopping with our local corner shop , marks & sparks along with premium service by Praveen in pantaloons.
Browse, pick and its carried to the till for you , more browsing , picking and off to pay
Discount off this , vouchers for that and that will be xxxx rps please Mr Blenders
All nicely packaged up and Praveen carries the shopping to the door , hands the ticket to the security guard , shopping to Mrs Pimms and shakes hands, thanking us for our custom and looking forward to seeing us again all with merry christmas and happy new year thrown in
Just ask for this type of service in your UK shop andwe will give a bottle of blenders for the funniest reaction.

Shopping takes on a new meaning here in India , a visit to the tibetan refugee woloen association didn't offer anything Mrs Pimms fancied, well what do you think ?




Next tried the colourful Delhi streets and Haat for a few crafts and Indian xmas stuff, did see a very modern Indian god "Rivana" and lots of pretty stuff
Mr Blenders forgot what we were out for after that.










Life on an adventure goes on and on


Namaste and merry Christmas to our bloggies


Mrs P & Mr B

Brrrrogittittis

Hello all you readers from a cold Delhi

Well now that we have got used to the heat it seems cold

Meanwhile back somewhere in the last post
Wildlife watching around Delhi and Humayan's Tomb for a special treat








Aha, who's he this Mr Humayan

Nasiruddin Humayun (Persian: نصيرالدين همايون) (March 6, 1508 – February 22, 1556) was the second Mughal Emperor who ruled modern Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of northern India from 1530–1540 and again from 1555–1556. Like his father, Babur, he lost his kingdom early, but with Persian aid, he eventually regained an even larger one.

He succeeded his father in India in 1530, while his half-brother Kamran Mirza, who was to become a rather bitter rival, obtained the sovereignty of Kabul and Lahore, the more northern parts of their father's empire. He originally ascended the throne at the age of 22 and was somewhat inexperienced when he came to power.

Meanwhile some more wildlife around the streets of Delhi, monkey , camel and king of the road

and a couple of tourists using eco transport

Where else in the world would you find such variety

Once again Mr Blenders had to bargain hard, starting at 1000rps down to 250rps

The viceroy's waddled down the street to lots of honking horns, waving from rickshaws and smiling.

Namaste

Goat in a coat

Hello Breezers


Well its been busy for the last few weeks with the round of visitations to India for a few old friends
Well they are older than Mr Blenders anyway, Mrs P will have to comment herself on that one

Mr Dinis ( Moonhead) and Marm ( Schoolmarm) came to see the country and the last weekend was spent in a dusty cold Delhi
Night time it reached all of 11.2 at the weekend , brrrrr.
Well after gods country its brrrrrr.
Just ask the "goat in a coat"





Saved the best till last though and went around this guys resting place
Who is he ?
Where did we go?
What made it their best day?
Well not telling yet as save that for another day

Once again it Mr B was all native and got the Indian entry fee of 10rps for a local, nearly have the challan paid off at this rate

Mr Dinis did go all native on the last day but thats at the end of the blog

Meanwhile , why did he go native you ask ?
Well

First though it was the ride around Chandi Chowk on the rip off rickshaw, didn't even get a tip from the "gorras" !!
Much prefer the auto one as not so hard work
But on the plus side, it makes you smile




Although they did buy the "coff-----secret drink" the following day
Now this is what you get offered when the place you go to eat only has non alchoholic drinks on the menu
After all that pedaling you just need a very cold drink , really you do , or was it shopping . Well I can't remember
Some steaming cold coff----secret drink------ ok its beer, in a nice mug.
Well it was rude to refuse a second one.

Now coff---secret drink ----beer has a strange effect on people?
Some can hold it in and others can't , he he!!


So we come to the end of the blog and Mr Dinis goes native
I have had to de-identify him just so he cant be recognised by anyone
Well so long as you dont look at the previous pictures
PS: no point in enlarging this picture , so I am told

To his credit he did aim and hit an upturned crash helmet at the side of Nelson Mandela Road
It should of evaporated by lunchtime the next day? Well maybye the following day or kal as they say here
So a warning to my Indian Friends out there to never , never buy from the guy that sells them at the side of this road , no matter how cheap it is

Namaste

Bloggie

Hi Bloggies

Well another week another adventure in India

Been carless this week as the clutch decided it had to go
Car got towed to the garage and on the way was hit by another car , oops
So it is being de-scared at the same time as re-clutched
Apparently it will be ready yesterday , thats today we think

Mrs P has caught the same as Mr B had , but on the plus side the weight falls away when you get a bit of Delhi Belly
She has also started the high shock diet that cures almost as much as the picture says, gas trick, urine unable to come and all those secret deseases?
Now they sounds very dodgy to catch , a secret desease
What are those for the people with inside plumbing
Shopalitis?
TVSopaitis?

A little bit more expensive than this though and we had to pay before the cure

Namaste
