  9.30 am Went for Mass with Aaron for his birthday. We had to go to Mapusa as Bastora church wa closed. We kept the bike at the car wash area as Aaron still hasn't got his driving licence.  I am going to call Dr Edison now as see if he can help me to get Rio rehomed on a farm. I earnestly hope he will be able to help. God willing. Don't want the poor chap to die because of his chasing bikes.  Put valve on. Took video of meter to show it's working. I wonder if Morgaonkar is putting the valve off after I put it on. Will check after half hour.  Link to video https://youtu.be/TBAdqIdNPlk?si=azifeSgIvBZd0tTC

Roshan finally posted a CCTV footage of Rio barking at him as he was leaving the building. Now, everyone can see which dog is the one causing the problem.  Put valve on at 9.30 am,then went with Glenn for blood test and pressure. Fasting BS 119, BP was 128/66.  12.15  Going to sleep now. Fed the inside dogs and kept food for Blacky and Mr White if they come inside the balcony. Otherwise I will keep for night. Right now it's pouring so they'll be in the garages.  10 pm  Going to sleep now. Fed only Blacky. Others Patsy fed so I didn't bother.  I'm worried about the meter as its not showing any reading difference. I'll check tomorrow otherwise I will have to call PWD to change it. Maria Sequeira F3 came to show proof of termination of tenancy. So she pays Rs 1800 instead of Rs 2400.

  Meter reading this morning was 636.  Joe called and I did recording of our conversation. From what he said, I surmise that he's not going to come to complain. I looks like the whole thing will go back to square one. I must a least insist that the gate is latched by everyone. So far, everyone is compiling.

Now to have bfast n then do some cleaning.  Dan is at home with me as Bro Melany asked him to come only by 2 pm and he can't travel to Green Park since Glenn is going to work today and tomorrow.  James replied late at night so I only saw early morning next day. But I am putting it here now.  Brendon has started MF portfolio yday.

5.30 am   I got up early, a little before 5 am and decided to brush my teeth and do my personal prayers from 5.30 to 6 am. I had a spell of loose motions, so that means my stomach cannot stand spicy foods. I thought it was the MBBS food that was affecting me. Today, I will avoid the curries at lunch.  I'll do my chair therapy with Glenn and Kirsten today. May not be able to complete but let's start at least.  10 am Chair therapy with both went off beautifully. I am amazed with how the Holy Spirit works.  7.30 pm Reached safely home and now resting. Took some pix after Mass. Met Gaurish n family. His wife and children had come for a few days to stay with him. He's full time at the Baga retreat centre now. Edwin's keyboard is there too, being used for various retreats and meditation courses.

10 am  I put the valve on at 9.30 am and will switch off at 11.30 noon.  PUMP was off and tank almost full.  We have to be at the Baga retreat centre at 2 pm for registration. Sandra said to come to the Green Park junction at 1 pm. Then she will drive and Glenn can go back to MBBS.  10 pm  We reached safely. I was so nervous all the time. Weather here is great.  Christine and I were allotted Room 9. It is outside the main area. View is lovely. We took some pictures.  At 3.30 pm, we started with pnw then intro talk, tea, and two talks before dinner at 8 pm. The talks were: 1) Living the Call to Holiness. 2) Christian Womanly Character. 3) Healing The Wounds of the Spirit. I did pnw before the third talk. After dinner, there was rosary and sharing in preparation for the chair therapy we have to do tomorrow morning in personal prayer from 6-7 am. We start with pnw at 7 am tomorrow. Off to bed now. Its pretty cold here at nights. Must remember to bring woo...

[10/23, 20:07] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: As for being security, except for Rio who is aggressive now, every Tom Dick and Harry have entered and exited the building and none of the others even bother to bat an eye. What kind of security is that?? Courier guys, delivery guys used to go up and down freely till Rio bit Aparajita's maid and then the paper guy. Now every one of these people refuse to go near the entrance putting members to so much inconvenience to come down to collect their stuff. [10/23, 20:10] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: And once the rains stop, these 'guard dogs' go to the field opposite the church to sleep at night. Not one of them are here to guard our building at night. What's the use of such dogs? We feed on humanitarian grounds only. Otherwise we really don't need them around. __END_OF_PART__IMG_20251024_05392628_1_gallery.jpg__END_OF_PART__ [10/23, 20:45] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: My question is why do they come here and not go to Wing A? Why are they not taking sh...

 Took Dane out at 6.40 am but he didn't make anything. Now he's screaming to go but I can't take him. Told Kirsten to come. I am studying this psalm by heart today. Psalm 1. Very small one. The grille guys completed the second bedroom today just in the nick of time. Ten minutes later, as they were leaving, it started raining.  Grille work completed. I paid Rs 6000 and had given another Rs 6000 so total of Rs 12000 for both grilles. The green pots fit snugly. Will post a day pic tomorrow.  Today's water meter reading was 9 units.  Today is the wedding anniversary of Louie and Zenita. They wished on the Heralds Family group.  Madam Zorro got a meal today! White and Blacky were MIA! So I only fed Captain, Rio and Cataract.        Ishikas letter came yday and she said to give her grandmother.  Once again, posts on the dogs. This time Dominick initiated it by posting a nostalgic pic of the group. Take a look at what followed.  [10/2...

  For our building PWD bills Yday I posted in the building group about how Rio created a nuisance and that my son was abused. Joe had to put his foot in his mouth so it gave me the opportunity to state many points which the group would have been unaware of. Here's the transcript  [10/21, 15:13] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: Rio has done it again! Went to bark and bite a person on a two wheeler. My son saw them get down and throw stones at him, chasing him into the fields opposite the building where the new road has been made. They abused my son saying we are to keep these dogs inside the compound area so they don't attack passerbys. [10/21, 16:09] T7 Aparajita Choudhury Ganesh Ganesh Apartments: This is so unfair to the people using the public road . They would be justified if they lodged a complaint [10/21, 16:27] AURIEL RIBEIRO SA: I hope they do so. The other four are getting stoned on account of him. [10/21, 16:35] S7 Joe Ferrao Ganesh Apartments: There is another dog too which belon...

Homescreen today  7.30 am It rained in the morning so I avoided going for Mass and instead did my Bible reading and  Lauds. Now I will do the first rosary with joyful mysteries.✓ Dan is going to the Seat today and will return on Friday.  Our champion has increased the water valve: it shows 12 units and the tank was almost full with the  pump off when I went to switch off. Now, I will have to implement plan B - tallow treatment 😁 I will  do full or none when I am at home and tallow treatment when I am awa as I need to keep it at half.
