10 long days

There's not going to be many posts from India this week. On Thursday evening I put Leanne and Daisy on a plane to Brisbane. They are now safely in Toowoomba with John and Betty getting things ready or Nic's wedding.
Whilst we were trying to get into Bangalore airport, we had to make our way through some heavy crowds. We burst through them and were just about to get to the terminal door when we noticed what the crowds were for: the Indian cricket team had been in town and were heading off to their next destination. We stood at the front of the crowd we'd just pushed our way through as they walked past and into the terminal.
Inside, the building was fairly empty. Because of the scares that had taken place at London Heathrow that day they were only letting through people with valid air tickets although I managed to get through without one, so it was probably more show than anything else; or maybe they just didn't put a white man with a wife and baby as a high-risk visitor. I've certainly noticed that where locals get stopped at doors, in general I can waltz on through.

So, that was Thursday night. Since then I've been kicking around the house by myself. We've spoken every day and they're settling in well, although Daisy's been a bit clingy so far. It's odd having the place to myself for such a long period, and it probably won't happen again for a very long time. I'm making the most of it and have now watched 2 movies without interruption. It would have been 3, but a powercut put an hour intermission in that one.

I fly out on Monday which is now only a week away. Work will keep me busy in the evenings and I'm using the mornings to get things ready for the company we're starting in Oz. The website's starting to look pretty good and if I can get some stock bought and the required paperwork completed then I hope to start selling in time for the new school year in January.
